The death of Naomi Judd just one day before her induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame has cast a pall over Sunday's ceremony -- but the show will go on.
The Country Music Hall of Fame was"shocked and saddened" by Judd's death, CEO Kyle Young said in a statement on Twitter. However, Judd's family asked that the induction of the mother-daughter duo The Judds continue as planned, he said.Judd passed away at the age of 76, her daughters announced Saturday, hours before the country music legend -- one half of The Judds, along with her daughter Wynonna -- was to be celebrated at the Nashville museum's Medallion Ceremony.
"We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public," her daughters' statement added."We are in unknown territory."Ashley Judd has recounted a painful ordeal she believes almost cost her leg after tripping in a Congolese rainforest and having to be evacuated. In its announcement of the 2021 members-elect, the Hall of Fame credited Naomi and Wynonna Judd with helping"take country back to its roots in the 1980s with lean, tuneful songs influenced by traditional folk music, acoustic blues, and family harmony acts."
While Wynonna sang lead,"Naomi provided harmony, wit, and a sashaying stage presence that engaged audiences," the Hall of Fame said.
