Naomi Judd Passes Away

Naomi Judd, the Grammy-winning country star and one half of the mom-and-daughter duo The Judds, has died at the age of 76. Wynonna and Ashley Judd released a statement Saturday, saying "Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness." No other details were offered. The Judds first formed in 1983 and had a massively successful career for about a decade thereafter, during which they cranked out six studio albums, over 20 hit singles (many of which charted in the Top 10 and higher) and won 5 Grammys between 1985 and 1992.
