Keith Urban was playing a show in Manchester, England, when he paid tribute to Naomi Judd, who died Saturday(4/30), by playing part of the Judds' song "Love Can Build A Bridge" with just his guitar asking the audience to sing along.

When the performance was over, Urban said, "Rest peaceful Naomi; we love you."

He posted a video of the moment on his Instagram. He captioned it, "Naomi Judd sowed so many important seeds in her precious time here. Here's one of the many. On the other side of the world in Manchester tonight, they were all singing."

"Love Can Build A Bridge," a massive hit for the Judds, was the last song the mother/ daughter duo sang together when they performed it on April 11, 2022 in downtown Nashville at the 2022 CMT Music Awards.
