Vince Gillhit the stage with a special guest as his wife,Amy Grant, continues to heal.
Last Friday, the second night of a four-night residency at the Ryman in Nashville, Gill, 65, welcomed he and Grant’s youngest child, Corinna, for a surprise performance, as seen in a post on his wife’sFacebookpage.
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.
Corinna then began to sing “When My Amy Prays,” tweaking the lyrics to “when my mama prays” – which the audience later applauded.

Two days later, the singer’s team shared anupdateon her official Instagram page, telling fans sh was on the road to recovery.
The post added that “due to the doctor’s orders,” Grant will postpone her upcoming shows for next month – where she was scheduled to perform in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Jackson City, and Wilmington – until April and June of next year.
The accident came two years after the Christian pop singerunderwent open-heart surgeryto correct a rare condition with which she was born, but only discovered at a check-up.
Grant was diagnosed wit PAPVR (partial anomalous pulmonary venous return), and confirmed she underwent successful surgery in June 2020.
“I think women tend to put their health on the back burner,” the “Breath of Heaven” singer toldGood Morning Americalast year. “It’s more like, ‘Oh my children, my grandchildren, my work, my spouse.’ All of those things and we need the gift of each other. So even if you go, ‘Oh, I got nothing on the radar,’ just get somebody else to check it out.”
Earlier this month, Grant was tapped as one of five recipients ofthis year’s Kennedy Center Honors. She’ll be honored on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 4.
