Amy Grant postponed her remaining tour dates on Friday as the singer continues her recovery after falling off her bike in July.

“Friends, unfortunately we have to postpone Amy’s previously scheduled tour dates in September and October as Amy needs more time to recover from injuries and a concussion sustained in a bicycle accident that occurred in Nashville on July 27, 2022,” his team wrote in a statement.

Grant had postponed his August shows immediately after the accident.

All postponed dates will be rescheduled from February to April 2023, according to the release.

The “Baby, Bay” singer was unconscious for about 10 minutes after she fell after going over a pothole. She was treated at a hospital for cuts and abrasions, as well as a concussion.

“Amy is getting stronger every day,” Grant’s manager Jennifer Cooke said in the statement. “As he did after his heart surgery, we are amazed at how quickly he is healing. However, although he is much better, we have made the difficult decision to postpone his autumn tour so that he can concentrate in his recovery and getting his stamina back. He wants to be able to give 100% when he goes on tour and unfortunately we don’t think that will be the case when rehearsals start for the autumn dates.”

Her husband of 22 years, Vince Gill, and daughter Corrina sang Gill’s song “When My Amy Prays” on stage at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium a week ago in Grant’s honor, and Gill told the audience that her his wife is getting better every day, a Facebook post from Grant who shared the video of the concert.

Corinna changed the lyrics to “when my mother prays”.

Gill told the crowd that he hadn’t performed the song recently because of “his accident and everything that’s been going on.” She added: “I thought how sweet it would be for her little girl to sing this song I wrote for her.”
