In a deeply emotional moment during an appearance in Augusta, Georgia, Vince Gill broke his silence about the lingering effects of wife Amy Grant’s 2022 bicycle accident, revealing that her recovery has been far more difficult — and far more painful — than the public ever knew.
“She’s been so strong,” Vince said, his voice shaking. “But the truth is… she’s still struggling. And some days, it feels like we’re back at the beginning.”
The accident — which occurred near their Nashville home — left Amy unconscious for nearly 10 minutes and with a traumatic brain injury. Though she resumed performing and public appearances with grace and determination, Vince revealed that behind the scenes, the journey has been long, slow, and at times heartbreaking.
“There are days when she forgets things. Moments when she gets disoriented,” he shared. “That’s not easy for someone who’s stood on stages her whole life and connected with millions through her words.”
Amy, known worldwide as the “Queen of Christian Pop,” has inspired generations with her voice, her faith, and her gentle, uplifting spirit. But Vince admits that watching her face these new challenges has tested them both.
“She’s still the same Amy — loving, joyful, full of grace,” he said. “But we’ve had to accept that this injury left more of a mark than we first believed.”
He shared that she is currently under ongoing neurological care, attending therapy multiple times a week, and that even the simplest routines — reading lyrics, holding a conversation in a noisy room — can sometimes feel overwhelming.
“She’s incredibly brave,” Vince added. “But as her husband… it’s hard not to feel helpless.”
Despite the lingering effects, their faith remains unshaken. Vince said that prayer, music, and the love of family have kept them going.
“We believe in healing. We believe in grace. And we believe in taking it one day at a time,” he said. “She’s still fighting. And I’ll be right here beside her — every step of the way.”
Fans around the world have flooded social media with messages of support, love, and continued prayer — a powerful reminder of the impact Amy Grant has had on so many lives.
