Amy Grant is fortunately on the mend after a scary bike accident last week left her hospitalized with numerous injuries. A new update was shared on the gospel singer’s social media pages, revealing that she is now recovering at home, but will have to postpone a few shows while her body heals.
“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 statement says. “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.
“Due to the doctor’s orders she has had to postpone her upcoming August concerts (Knoxville, Chattanooga, Johnson City, Wilmington),” the statement continues. “The concerts have been rescheduled for April and June, 2023. All tickets will be honored at the new performance dates. There are no other changes to her touring schedule at this time. Go to www.AmyGrant.com for the latest concert schedule and details.”

Grant was reportedly riding her bike in Nashville’s Percy Warner Park with a friend when the accident occurred.
“Thank you to all those offering prayers and well wishes for Amy following her bike crash yesterday,” Grant’s team announced shortly after the news was released. “She is in the hospital receiving treatment but in stable condition. She is expected to go home later this week where she will continue to heal. Your kind thoughts and heartfelt prayers are felt and received. Amy was wearing her helmet and we would remind you all to do the same!”
Grant’s husband, Vince Gill, postponed some of his shows to be with his wife. His next scheduled concert is August 4, for the first night of his four-night residency at the Ryman Auditorium.
Grant was recently announced as one of the recipients of the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors, along with U2, Gladys Knight, George Clooney, and composer and conductor Tania León.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine ever receiving this prestigious Kennedy Center Honor,” Grant says of the accolade. “Through the years I’ve watched so many of my heroes serenaded by colleagues and fellow artists, always moved by the ability of music and film to bring us together and to see the best in each other. I cannot wait to celebrate with my fellow honorees, friends and family. Thank you for widening the circle to include all of us.”
