Gabriel and Michael Saalfield, a.k.a The Royce Twins, are an Australian-based duo of singers. The band name is taken from their late mother's middle name. The twin brothers were only 22 years old when they decided to audition for Australia's Got Talent, and thank God they did; their backstory is just as powerful as their performance.
The twins were raised in foster care after their mother died of breast cancer at the age of eight and their father died in a house fire when they were 11. The twins brought their big sister and former foster dad, who continues to support them to this day, with them to the audition.
The Royce Twins stunned the audience and all four judges with their rendition of "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. The second Gabriel joins Michael with his high harmony, I got chills everywhere. The twins show such precision and clarity, hitting all the notes with ease. And the fact they manage to project such positivity and light throughout their audition proves how strong each one makes the another.
After making it through the tragic deaths of their parents together, it's inspiring to see how Gabriel and Michael have managed to follow their dreams and never give up — just like the song says. Enjoy their performance below, and please SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
