Contemporary Christian musician Amy Grant is out of the hospital but needs to recuperate at home and postpone some concerts after a bike accident.
“Due to the doctor’s orders she has had to postpone her upcoming August concerts,” said Velvet Kelm, Grant’s spokeswoman, in a Friday statement.
The singer/songwriter has been released and is “resting comfortably at home,” Kelm said, after spending a couple of nights in a Nashville, Tennessee, hospital for treatment and observation.
“Earlier this week Amy Grant was in an accident after hitting a pothole while out riding her bicycle with a friend,” said Kelm, who noted the artist was wearing a helmet at the time.
Grant, 61, fue nombrado one of this year’s Kennedy Center Honors recipients about a week before the accident.
