Amy Grant reveals Vince Gill’s powerful advice after brain injury

Amy Grant has opened up about the grounding words from her husband Vince Gill that supported her recovery following her 2022 life altering bike crash.

During her latest appearance, the 65-year-old candidly recounted about the difficult period, admitting that her world once felt painfully distant and disconnected.

On NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin on Thursday, April 30, recalling one of her most vulnerable moments, she said, “I just remember saying to Vince, ‘What if this is all I get back? What if this is it?’”

Describing the frightening reality of her recovery, she continued, “Because, to me, it's like the world is in a conversation, and I am down the hall and in a back bedroom. This is like my response time.”

Offering perspective during her darkest days, the Go Rest High on That Mountain hitmaker gave her advice that reshaped her healing journey.

"[Vince] just said, ‘Amy, life happens to every one of us every day. A virtuoso musician could have a stroke and never be able to pick up their instrument again,” she shared.

Encouraging her to embrace life as it came, she added, “All you do is you just take the hand you're dealt that day and live the life that you get.’”

For the unversed, Grant’s July 2022 cycling accident left her unconscious and battling memory loss, balance struggles, and other severe complications.
