Wynonna Judd admitted she's "incredibly angry" and still very much grieving the death of her mother, Naomi Judd, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Apirl. She was 76. The mother-daughter duo were about to embark on a reunion tour to reminisce with fans on their favorite ‘80s and ’90s songs from The Judds, one of the most successful music acts from the genre with five Grammy Awards, nine CMA awards and 14 No.
1 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. "I got the call, and I went over, and I saw her and I said goodbye to her in the hospital, and I closed her eyes, and I kissed her forehead, and that was that," Judd told CBS Sunday Morning during her first interview since Naomi died in April. "And next thing I know, I'm sitting here on the side porch, and I'm just trying to figure out what's next." One day after Naomi took her own life on April 30, 2022, The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Wynonna Judd (seen in April) gave her first interview nearly six months after her mother, Naomi, died. (Jeff Kravitz) "I did not know that she was at the place she was at when she ended it, because she had had episodes before and she got better. And that's what I live in, is like, 'Was there anything I should have looked for or should I have known?' I didn't." When asked if she was "angry at all," Wynonna replied, "Yes. Incredibly angry." "Does that ever go away?" Lee Cowan followed up.
"No, I don't think so, not for a while," she said. "And I'll let you know. I'll call you up and literally send you a note." She was hesitant to believe the difficult feelings ever subside, but does still feel her mother's spirit guiding her throughout the day.
