“We will do it, with a heavy heart,” Yang wrote. Jade died at the age of 76, her daughters announced on Saturday, hours before the country music legend – half of the Jades, along with Wainona’s daughter – was to be celebrated at the Nashville Museum’s medal ceremony. It is not clear how the ceremony can be changed or adjusted after Jade’s death. A separate tweet on the Hall of Fame page announced that the “Red Carpet Experience” pre-ceremony, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, had been canceled due to Jade’s death. In their announcements posted on Twitter, Jade’s daughters, Winonna and Ashley, actress, wrote that “they lost our beautiful mother from mental illness”. “We are going through deep sadness and we know that as we loved her, she was loved by her audience,” her daughters’ statement added. “We are in an unknown area.” Naomi Judd shared during a 2016 appearance on “Good Morning America” that she had been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. That same year, she wrote a book entitled “River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope” explaining her struggles. Wynonna Judd “Take the country back to its roots in the 1980s with simple, melodic songs influenced by traditional folk music, blues headphones and family harmonies.” The mother-daughter duo began playing together as a professional project in the early 1980s, soon creating a series of hits such as “Mama He’s Crazy” and “Love Can Build a Bridge” and selling more than 20 million records. Between 1984 and 1991, the Judds won five Grammys and had 14 No. 1 singles per Hall of Fame. While Wynonna sang the lead song, “Naomi provided harmony, intelligence and a shocking stage presence that captivated the audience,” the Hall of Fame reported. The announcement was made after the news of Jade’s death, noting: “The museum, Jade’s family and fans, and the entertainment industry are mourning her sudden death.” The Judds appeared together in public for the first time in years at the CMT Music Awards earlier this month, singing “Love Can Build a Bridge”. Judd’s death also came shortly after the announcement of the Judds’ 10-day “Final Tour”, which was scheduled to begin in September. CNN’s Andy Rose and Christina Maxouri contributed to this report.
