Following the death of Naomi Judd, the singer’s family plans to meet to discuss The Judds’ upcoming fall tour.
Naomi died by suicide on Saturday, according to new reports. The country music star’s death comes months before she was set to take the stage with her daughter, Wynonna.
“The family is meeting this week to talk about the state of the upcoming tour to see how and if it can proceed in an obviously different incarnation,” a source told People magazine. “They want to be respectful and representative of their legacy, but more importantly as to what Naomi would have wanted for her family and fans.”
