Judd, 76, died by suicide on Saturday, April 30. She was open about her struggles with anxiety and depression.
CMT said, “The show will feature archival footage and interviews intertwined with memorable performances and moments from the past several decades of her career. The 30-minute television special will recount Judd’s colorful past as a trailblazer for women in country music and the duo’s path to becoming one of the most successful in country music history.”
Artists appearing will include Loretta Lynn, Billy Ray Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and Judd’s daughter, Wynonna Judd.
“Viewers will also hear from Naomi. Her final interview on the ‘2022 CMT Music Awards’ red carpet earlier this month is incorporated in the tribute as well as coverage of The Judds’ emotional induction ceremony at the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday night.
In addition, CMT will air The Judds’ final performance of ‘Love Can Build A Bridge’ from the 2022 CMT Music Awards every hour during music hours on CMT, CMT Music and CMT Pluto channels this week.”
Judd’s is survived by daughters, Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd and her husband Larry Strickland.
“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” a statement from Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd said. “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.”
