According to a press release, she will do the show from SiriusXM’s New York studios but “will also be able to do the show from the road occasionally when she’s touring.”

Hi Nicole,
I hope this message gets to you. I just heard your rendition of Bowie’s Heroes on the Spectrum. Not only were your vocals amazing but it brought tears to my eyes.
My sister has been battling cancer for past two years. After having the disease at bay for the past half year, we learned Thursday its back with little hope. Losing my sister is going to be just unfathomable and overwhelming.
Thank you for your song…again your voice was amazing and reached my broken heart. ?
Am very sorry to hear about your sister, Joe. Will try to get this message to Nicole.
