Wynonna Judd Continues 'The Final Tour' Despite Naomi Judd's Passing
TRIGGER WARNING: This part contains topics about suicide
The tour was initially announced way before Naomi Judd passed away and the country singer decided to continue performing on the upcoming dates as a tribute to her beloved mother.
In a previous statement released earlier this year, Wynonna expressed her gratitude to fans for their endless support throughout the years, saying she's grateful that they will continue to honor the legacy of The Judds.
On the other hand, Naomi's husband, Larry Strickland, also issued a statement in the same press release, saying, "I am so happy that in this time of grief for us all, Wynonna has agreed to move forward with this tour as my sweet wife Naomi would have wanted her to do." (via TODAY)
The tour will kick off at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania on January 26, 2023, before visiting cities across the United States like Worcester, Tulsa, Kansas City, Moline, Greenville, Savannah, and more.
The last show would be at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole in Hollywood, Florida.
Fans were shocked earlier this year when the news of Naomi Judd's death made rounds online. The country legend reportedly ended her life with a gun at her Tennessee home on April 30, 2022.
