The local doctor from Portsmouth, Virginia, who was practicing family medicals sang Stevie Wonder’s classic from 1995 “Ribbon In The Sky” in front of the judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B.
After getting four yeses, Roger revealed as to why he had to put his dreams of being a singer on hold to become a doctor.
“My inspiration for becoming a doctor was kind of born out of a pretty tough experience when I was six years old when I came home from school one day and found my mom laying in a pool of blood,”
“We rushed her to the hospital, the doctors were like heroes. They saved her life and it made me want to be the doctor that I am today.”
Moreover, he added,
“I feel like I’m in a field where I’m actually making a difference, and there can be some tough days too,”
“My way to cope with the stress has always been music. If I could find a way to combine being a doctor and medicine with music and singing that would be a dream come true.'
He is no more with his family and close ones, and they have flooded tributes to late Rogers over on social media and his family thanked for the condolences.

Brandon’s sister, Christian also shared an emotional and touching tribute to her brother.
