NEWSStar-Studded Line Up Of Guests Join Wynonna Judd's Upcoming Tour Following Mother Naomi's Alleged Suicide
Wynonna Judd is set to go on tour in loving memory of her mother Naomi Judd.
On Thursday, September 8, the Grammy-winning country artist announced an iconic lineup of famous friends to join her on The Judds: The Final Tour — which she has dedicated to the "life and legacy" of her mother, following her alleged suicide.
Martina McBride is set to join the entire tour as a special guest, with friends Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Little Big Town, Faith Hill and others taking the stage on various nights throughout the month-long 11-date concert series.
The Judds will forever be missing a piece of their mother-daughter duo of Naomi and Wynonna, however the now solo-artist hopes to celebrate and honor her mother's with one last leg of performances.
“I continue to find myself both grateful and humbled by the unwavering support from my fellow artists, music community, and of course, the fans," announced Wynonna in a press release. "I am looking so forward to celebrating The Judds music one final time. It will be a bittersweet experience, and one that I will never forget.”
“It’s so amazing to be included in honoring The Judds legacy as part of their final tour. I’m beyond excited for what’s sure to be an emotional, fun, and hit packed series of shows and to be joined by some of Country Music's biggest names,” added McBride.
