Amy Grant is on the mend following a biking accident this past July, her husband Vince Gill said Monday.
The Baby, Baby artist, 61, is ‘doing great’ in the wake of the July 27 accident in Nashville, Gill, 65, told Entertainment Tonight Monday in an interview on the red carpet in Nashville for the televised special CMT Giants: Vince Gill.
Gill said that Grant was ‘pretty torn up’ she could not attend Monday’s proceedings but ‘with her accident and all of that, [doctors] kind of deemed that the best thing for her to do is just be still.’

He added, ‘That’s hard for her because she is very active. She knows that she is well thought of, well loved and represented tonight, so it’s all good.’
The singer-songwriter was hospitalized at Vanderbilt Hospital following her accident, her rep told USA Today, as medical professionals tended to abrasions and cuts on her person; she was wearing a helmet at the time.
Following her release from the hospital, Grant’s team announced a set of concert dates that August were postponed ‘due to the doctor’s orders.’
The singer’s team said last month that her tour dates in September and October were delayed to February through April of 2023 as result of Grant ‘needing more time to recover from injuries and a concussion sustained in a bicycling accident.’

Grant’s manager Jennifer Cooke said at the time that ‘although she is doing much better, we have made the difficult decision to postpone her fall tour so she can concentrate on her recovery and rebuild her stamina.’
Cooke added that the singer ‘is getting stronger every day’ and that her team was ‘amazed at how fast she heals.’
Grant will play in a Christmas tour and a Ryman residency with her spouse in December, her team said.

A statement on Grant’s Instagram page in the wake of the incident indicated that she had to delay a series of shows
Grant took to Instagram in August to show her gratitude for fans who had sent their well wishes in the wake of her accident.
‘I want to say thank you to everyone who has written me a note, sent flowers or gifts, or said a prayer on my behalf,’ Grant said. ‘I’m one month into a recovery that has held so many unexpected hidden gifts.’
She added: ‘On the advice of my doctors and other friends who have been through similar experiences of recovery, I am choosing to give myself the gift of a very simple fall season.’
