Wynonna Judd is super sad she can’t be there to perform at her late friend Beth Chapman‘s final send-off … but she’s still making her presence felt from afar.
Beth’s memorial service is going down this afternoon in Colorado … and she was a huge fan of Wynonna’s music and the 2 got close, so the family asked the country music icon to come and sing.
Unfortunately, Wynonna’s on tour and can’t be there to support a dear friend … so she’s giving Beth’s family permission to feature her music during the service, including Beth’s favorite Wynonna song, “Rescue Me.”
Wynonna posted a tribute to Beth right after her death.

Beth’s memorial service, which is being planned by reality star Kim Fields, will feature video messages from some of Beth’s celeb friends … and Wynonna is part of it.
The send-off was planned in part by Beth herself. A massive crowd is expected to attend.
