The Baby, Baby Singer Amy Grant Released After Bike Accident, And She Postpones Due To Doctor’s Orders Shows

Amy Grant Time Taking After Bike Accident

Amy Grant is taking time off after being in the hospital following a bike accident. On Friday, the 61-year-old singer's team shared an update on her official Instagram page, telling fans she's on the road to recovery.

Earlier this week, Amy Grant was in an accident after hitting a pothole while riding her bicycle with a friend. Following a brief hospitalization where she was treated for her injuries, doctors ordered additional recovery time at home for Amy, who is now resting comfortably. The post reads alongside a photo of a happy Grant performing onstage.

Amy Grant Postpone Her Upcoming Shows

The post adds that due to the doctor's orders, Grant will postpone her upcoming shows for next month, where she was scheduled to perform in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Jackson City, and Wilmington, until April and June of next year.

The post continues that the tickets purchased for August's concerts will be honored for the new dates, noting that "there are no other changes to her touring schedule at this time."

The "Baby, Baby" singer was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital and treated for cuts and abrasions after she fell while cycling with a friend, a spokesperson for the star confirmed. She was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

As of Wednesday, she was in stable condition and stayed overnight at the hospital as a precaution, the spokesperson said. She stayed Thursday night as well for observation and treatment.

The incident comes two years after the star, who is married to singer Vince Gill, underwent open-heart surgery to correct a rare condition with which she was born but only discovered at a check-up.

PAPVR Diagnosis

Grant was diagnosed with PAPVR - partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and confirmed she underwent successful surgery in June 2020.

She thinks women tend to put their health on the back burner, and the Christian pop singer told Good Morning America last year. It's more like, Oh, my children, my grandchildren, my work, my spouse. All of those things, and we need the gift of each other. So even if you go, 'Oh, I got nothing on the radar,' get somebody else to check it out.

Earlier this month, they tapped Grant as one of five recipients of this year's Kennedy Center Honors. She'll be honored on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage in Washington, D.C., on December 4.

45^th Class Of Honorees

When they announced the annual ceremony's 45th class of honorees earlier this month, Grant spoke about the recognition in a statement.

Never in my wildest dreams did she imagine ever receiving this prestigious Kennedy Center Honors, said the musician. Through the years, she has watched so many of my heroes serenaded by colleagues and fellow artists, permanently moved by the ability of music and film to bring us together and to see the best in each other.

Grant continued: She cannot wait to celebrate with my fellow honorees, friends, and family. Thank you for widening the circle to include all of us.
