Vince Gill, 65, hit the stage with a special guest as his wife, Amy Grant, recovers from a recent bicycle accident that led her to cancel several tour dates.

Surprise tribute!

Last Friday, the second night of a four-night residency at the Ryman in Nashville, Vince Gill, welcomed Grant's youngest kid, Corinna, for a surprise performance, as seen in a post on his wife's Facebook page.

Vince Gill told the crowd he had not been playing his hit "When My Amy Prays," which he wrote for his wife, regularly as of late, "because of her accident and everything she's been going through, we have been thinking a lot about her."

He said, "I thought how sweet it would be for her youngest to sing this song I wrote for her."

Corinna pointedly tweaks the lyrics:

Corinna then began to sing, which won the Grammy Award for best country solo performance in 2021, "When My Amy Prays," tweaking the lyrics to "when my mama prays," which the audience later applauded.

The tribute came just over a week after the "Baby Baby" singer was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital and treated for cuts and abrasions after she fell while cycling with a friend, a representative for Grant confirmed. Also, Grant was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Health update!

As per the latest post from Grant's Facebook page, the fall also "left her unconscious for about 10 minutes and with a concussion."

After two days, the singer's team shared an update on her official Instagram page, telling fans she was on the road to recovery.

The post read, "Earlier this week, Amy Grant was in an accident after hitting a pothole while riding her bicycle with a friend (note: she was wearing a helmet)," The team shared a photo of a happy Grant performing onstage.

The post continued, "Following a brief hospitalization where she was treated for her injuries, doctors have ordered additional recovery time at home for Amy, where she is now resting comfortably."

Amy Grant postpones her upcoming shows:

The post added 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.

Amy Grant was born with a rare health condition:

The accident came two years after the Christian pop singer underwent open-heart surgery to correct a rare condition with which she was born but only discovered at a check-up.

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

Last year, the "Breath of Heaven" singer told Good Morning America, "I think women tend to put their health on the back burner."

The singer added, "It is more like, 'Oh my children, my grandchildren, my work, my spouse.' All of those things and we need the gift of each other. Therefore, even if you go, 'Oh, I got nothing on the radar,' just get somebody else to check it out."

Last month, Grant was one of five recipients of this year's Kennedy Center Honors. She will be honored on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage in Washington, D.C., on December 4.
