Wynonna Judd is using the magic of music on her path to recover as she embarks on the second leg of "The Judds: The Final Tour."
The second and what Wynnona said to be the final leg of the tour came months after her musical partner and mother, Naomi, passed away last Apr. 30, 202.
Naomi's death shocked the music industry, which came days after The Judds made a comeback at the CMT Awards 2022 and performed their final song together, "Love Can Build A Bridge."
Naomi's cause of death was ruled out to be suicide caused by a firearm. Since then, Naomi's passing has left a huge void in the country music genre.
Wynonna and Naomi were supposed to embark on "The Judds: The Final Tour" last September 2022, but because of Naomi's death, it was shelved at the time.
However, female country artists have come and volunteered to be with Wynonna to continue the tour.
"I just said 'yes' when they came to me with names of people that said, 'Yes, we want to support Wynonna.' Brandi was the first person to respond when mom died, when we decided to do the memorial. She flew in to be there and sing with her guitar," Wynonna said in a Billboard interview.
Sandbox Entertainment then approached Wynonna and informed her that several artists were actually up for it.
"It's amazing to me because this kind of stuff doesn't really happen, not usually organically. A lot of times it's a board room and it's an office thing. This was not [that] - this was a "We love Wynonna" thing," she continued.
"The Judds: The Final Tour" will continue today, Jan. 26, at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Wynonna will be joined by Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker, Little Big Town, and Kelsea Ballerini. Martina McBride has also committed to all 15 shows until February.
