Carrie Underwood delivers heartfelt tribute to Naomi Judd during concert performance hours after her passing
Underwood then asked the audience to band together by pulling out a phone or lighter and shine it in honor of those who have passed away.'Let's light up this place in memory of all those that we miss,' the Inside Your Heaven star said, adding, 'I know all of country music will be lighting something up for Ms. Naomi Judd.'
The song, which became Underwood's 18th consecutive Top 10 single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs in 2013, begins with a somewhat somber instrumental that quickly transitions into a bit more of an uptempo feel. 'Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking - But I stay strong and I hold on 'cause I know - I will see you again, oh - This is not where it ends - I will carry you with me, yeah, yeah,' she sings with just a piano underneath.
'Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,' the statement began. '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.' Sisters The Judd sisters, Wynonna and Ashley, said they lost their 'beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness' in their official statement
