Amy Granthas postponed the rest of her fall tour as she recovers from a biking accident.
Grant, 61, will instead perform from February to April of next year. Previously purchased tickets will be honored.
“Amy is getting stronger every day. Just as she did after herheart surgery, we are amazed at how fast she heals,” her manager Jennifer Cookesaidin a statement included in the post. “However, 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.”
Grant is set to return to the stage in November for the Christmas Tour with Michael W. Smith at the annual Ryman Residency along with her husband Vince Gill.
“Amy would like to extend her gratitude for all the many good wishes and prayers offered since the accident. She feels the impact of the collective goodwill extended her way. Thank you,” Cooke continued.
The announcement comes days after Gill, 65, and his and Grant’s daughter, Corinna, delivered asurprise performance, as seen on Grant’sFacebookpage.
During the second night of a four-night residency at the Ryman in Nashville 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’ve been thinking a lot about her.”
“I thought how sweet it would be for her youngest to sing this song I wrote for her,” he said of the song, which won the Grammy Award for best country solo performance in 2021.
