Jennifer Hudson Brings Family Onstage At Chicago Homecoming Concert

CHICAGO — Oscar and Grammy-winning singer Jennifer Hudson has given her first hometown concert since her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were murdered in Chicago last year.

Hudson sang Saturday night at a theater in Chicago's McCormick Place.

She dedicated the song "You Pulled Me Through" to relatives in the audience and brought four cousins on stage to sing with her.

The bodies of her mother and brother were found Oct. 24 at their home on Chicago's South Side. The body of nephew Julian King was found days later on the city's West Side.

The estranged husband of Hudson's sister, William Balfour, is charged in the murders.

Hudson is in the middle of a tour with singer Robin Thicke.

I saw Jennifer Hudson's concert - she was INCREDIBLE. She is a huge talent and you can tell she loves her family. She should be a bigger star than she already is. If you missed her in concert - you missed out!

Great concert, Robin Thicke also on the bill.

I'm a Jen supporter but she needs to do something with her hair (wigs)....because the ones she wearing on this tour look really old....they make her look old. Does anyone know what city she moved to?
