Wynonna Judd will continue to honor his late mother, Naomi Judd, in The Judds: The Final Tour.

After Naomi's death, Wynonna decided to continue the 11-date tour of The Judds alongside other performers like Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde, and Trisha Yearwood. She recently delivered good news and told fans that the tour would add 15 more shows.

During the singer's recent appearance on the "Today" show, the 58-year-old crooner revealed that The Judds: The Final Tour would continue into 2023.

"I just found this out a week ago. They said, 'They're adding more shows.' I said, 'OK.' What am I going to do, Hoda, sit at home and complain? Fifteen more shows, you can get yours now," Wynonna said.

The new dates will start in Pennsylvania on January 26 and wrap up in Hollywood, Florida, on February 25. These will follow the states included in the schedule - Miami, Ohio, South Dakota, Alabama, Texas, and Kentucky, among others.

Wynonna's move will help her keep the promise she made to Naomi, which is to continue her musical career even without her mother and musical partner.

Wynonna Judd Would Do THIS If She Was Not on Tour

Elsewhere in the interview, Kotb asked the singer what she thinks she would be doing if the tour had already ended.

According to Wynonna, she might be at home planning her next big moment because that is what people live and work for. Still, she expressed how overwhelmed she felt after receiving love and support.

"I am so humbled by every artist that has come to sing with me on this tour. They've all managed to bring something so unique to The Judds' music and I can say that no two shows are the same. It has been so life-giving!" she exclaimed.

She and Naomi were supposed to perform together in the arena tour. However, Naomi died in May after causing a self-inflicted gunshot wound following her battle against mental health illness.

The late singer had been open about her mental issues, that she also included it in her 2016 book, "River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope." Per Naomi, she had been suppressing her memories after suffering child molestation.

Naomi also got immobilized when she suffered depression since her muscles atrophied due to lack of movement.
