1 / 17

Wynonna Judd issued a statement on Saturday evening, revealing that she will no longer be performing on the CBS special, New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.

The Country Music Hall of Famer took to social media to share the unfortunate news with fans after experiencing an unexpected illness. 

Wynonna was slated to appear on the CBS special to perform alongside Kelsea Ballerini live from Nashville’s Bicentennial Mall.  

“I was looking so forward to singing with my dear @kelseaballerini tonight. Instead, I am on the bus struggling with an extreme bout of vertigo, and am unable to perform. 😢💔,” Wynonna shared on social media alongside what appears to be a photo of herself and Ballerini from rehearsals. “Nashville, I am absolutely heartbroken and so sorry to have let you all down tonight. Kelsea, I look forward to stepping onstage with you in February, better than ever!!!!”

According to NHS Inform, vertigo is the “sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning.” 

Ballerini recently appeared with Judd on The Judds: The Final Tour. Ballerini will also join Judd on several upcoming dates of The Judds: The Final Tour 2023. 

The trek is a celebration of the legacy of The Judds and launched following the death of Naomi Judd in 2022. 

The 2023 leg of the tour kicks off on January 26 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and runs through February 25, 2023 in Hollywood, Florida. Ballerini will appear on three dates: February 2, 3, and 4. Additional details about the upcoming tour can be found HERE.
