Amy Grant is back home and recovering from her biking accident on Wednesday, but the artist has decided to postpone her August concert dates.
Grant, 61, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Wednesday, where she was treated for abrasions and cuts after she fell on her bike while riding with a friend. A spokesperson for the “Baby Baby” singer told Fox News Digital that Grant was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and hit a pothole.
A representative for Grant shared that she is in stable condition and stayed overnight in the hospital on Wednesday and Thursday as a precaution.

“I think women tend to put their health on the back burner,” Grant said on “Good Morning America” in February of last 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.”
