“It’s a celebration,” Keys said about the opportunity to appear on the show again for what GMA co-anchor Lara Spencer referred to as GMA’s “last bow” in Times Square. The cast of Hell’s Kitchen belted out a medley of classic hits “Girl on Fire” and “No One,” delivering vocals and emotions.
Zee has been through a series of highs and lows during her time on GMA. She and her husband Ben Aaron welcomed their sons Adrian, 9, and Miles, 7. She also got candid about her battle with depression in 2017, sharing she was suicidal at the age of 21.
She previously opened up about checking into a mental health facility 10 days before her move to New York to start on GMA.
