“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” Ashley and Wynonna Judd revealed in a statement.
Naomi Judd, who with daughter Wynonna formed dynamic duo The Judds, one of the most successful acts in country music history, has died. She was 76.
The Judds strung together a long list of hit singles in the 1980s and 1990s, and in 1994 released a compilation album of 12 songs that topped the country charts, including Grammy-winning hits “Why Not Me,” “Mama He’s Crazy” and “Grandpa .” Naomi took custody of Wynonna and the two famously learned to play music together while struggling to make ends meet.
The Judds broke up in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C but reunited in 2000 for a tour.
