Naomi Judd Memorial Preview


On Saturday, April 30, legendary country singer Naomi Judd died by suicide after a long battle with mental health struggles, which the late singer was quite candid about over the years.

Her daughters, singer Wynonna Judd and actress Ashley Judd, announced the news on social media, writing in a statement, “Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.”

The next day, the country duo known as The Judds was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Ashley and Wynonna appeared at the event and gave emotional speeches honoring their mother.

“I’m sorry that she couldn’t hang on until today,” said Ashley. Wynonna added, “[My] heart’s broken, and I feel so blessed. It’s a very strange dynamic, to be this broken and this blessed.”

Naomi previously spoke to “Today” about her struggles, telling the morning show in 2017, “I didn’t get off my couch for two years. I was so depressed that I couldn’t move … My husband (Larry Strickland) and my girlfriends and Ashley would come over and I would just go upstairs and lock the door to my bedroom … I was dangerously depressed.”

She added, “We don’t make enough of the good neurochemicals in the brain. It’s a disease. It has nothing to do with our character … I was dangerously depressed.”

Now on Sunday, May 15, CMT is airing Naomi Judd’s public memorial without commercial interruption. The special will include “tributes from Wynonna & Ashley Judd with soon-to-be-announced performances and special appearances from some of the biggest names in entertainment,” according to the CMT press release.

CMT previously aired the Judds’ final performance together, when they appeared on stage at the 2022 CMT Music Awards and sang “Love Can Build a Bridge,” which was their first nationally televised performance together in over 20 years.

“We are sincerely privileged to work alongside Wynonna, Ashley and [Naomi’s husband] Larry to present this live celebration of life for their mother and wife Naomi. While we all continue to deeply mourn the loss of such a legendary artist, we are honored to commemorate her legacy alongside the country community, her friends, family and legions of fans across the world at the perfect venue: The Mother Church of Country Music. This special will celebrate her timeless voice, unforgettable spirit and the immense impact she left on our genre through the best form of healing we have – music,” said the CMT producers in a statement.

“Naomi Judd: A River of Time Celebration,” to “honor the extraordinary life and legacy of country music icon Naomi Judd,” airs Sunday, May 15 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on CMT.
