Let’s find out “What Happened To Bay Turner From AGT?” Bay Turner, is a local singer who received a standing ovation during the auditions for NBC’s America’s Got Talent season 17.
Find out how this 25-year-old hit all the right notes in front of the judges after a miraculous recovery from a vocal cord injury.
What Happened To Bay Turner From AGT?
In 2021 he discovered two benign cysts in his chest and he lost his voice during a routine surgery to remove the tumors. He was told he would never be able to sing the same again and has to spend countless hours using voice teachers to be able to get his voice back to where it’s at today.
Although Turner advanced to the next round with his outstanding performance of Calum Scott’s “Biblical,” he will not be part of the AGTV live shows.
54 other acts are set to perform on ‘America’s Got Talent’ live shows, starting Tuesday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. on NBC. Results shows will air Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. CT.
However, Turner is currently writing and recording his first EP, and his new single ‘My Testimony’ is out and available to stream.

“I’ve spent countless hours using voice teachers to be able to get my voice back to where it’s at,” he told the judges, explaining that the performance he was about to deliver was his first since the surgery.
“I think sometimes when life gets you down you have to just pull up your bootstraps and just figure it out,” he added. “Keep going. So that’s what I did.”
Turner then launched into Calum Scott’s “Biblical”, his powerful voice building to a crescendo that had the audience listening with rapt attention before cheering wildly.
“I think people are going to like you, Bay,” Simon Cowell told him.
“We don’t only hear you singing, we can feel you singing,” said Howie Mandel in his critique, joking, “I know you like being a legal assistant, but I would pursue singing if I was you.”
Heidi Klum found him to be “extra special,” while Sofia Vergara marvelled at how the nervousness he displayed when he first came onstage vanished once he started to sing. “It was very special,” she shared.
As he received four “yes” votes, Turner will be back to compete in the next round.
Meanwhile, Turner’s newly acquired fans won’t have to wait until he next appears on “AGT” to hear more from him; just last week he released his first-ever single, “My Testimony”
