Wynonna Judd ‘healed’ by touring after mother Naomi’s d''eath Wynonna Judd ‘healed’ by touring after mother Naomi’s d''eath Wynonna Judd knew touring without her late mother would bring up a lot of feelings, but she didn’t know that it would also help her through the grief. Judd’s mother, Naomi Judd, died by suicide on April 30 at age 76 after a long battle with mental illness. Grammy-winning duo The Judds, consisting of Wynonna and Naomi, had planned their final tour before Naomi’s death, and Wynonna decided to continue it without her late mother. I have to admit, I’ve had an incredible, incredible opportunity to heal through all of this, to cry and to say things onstage that I’ll never say again,” Judd, 58, told The Hollywood Reporter. This is a whole other level of deep, and I wasn’t expecting it,” the singer-songwriter continued. “I knew it would be intense but this is literally, ‘Oh, my Lord.’ This is me with a broken heart being as open as I’ll probably ever be, and other people are responding to that in a way that I wasn’t expecting.

Jeff Kravitz/Getty Images for CMT The Judds were set to begin their final tour — their first in a decade — just weeks after Naomi passed. Judd previously revealed that she “lost it” while rehearsing for the tour without her mother. It’s devastatingly beautiful to go back to the past and relive some of these memories,” she said in October. “Yesterday I was in rehearsal and there’s a part in the show where they sync up Mom singing with me. And I turned around and I just lost it. #wynonnajudd #Wynonna_Judd #entertainment Disclaimer: This channel may use some copyrighted materials without specific authorization of the owner but contents used here falls under the “Fair Use” Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
