During a recent concert, Vince Gill paid homage to his wife Amy Grant. Grant was involved in a cycling accident last month, forcing her to reschedule her excursions. Vince is presently on tour with the Eagles, and the singer’s daughter Corinna Gill joined him on Thursday, August 4 at the Ryman Auditorium. Corinna joined her father on stage for a duet of When My Amy Prays from his 2019 album, Okie. Corrina felt upset during her performance, comparing herself to her father and sang “when my mother prays” instead of “when my Amy prays.” Following Grant’s mishap, a message on her Instagram page indicated that she was treated and told to remain at home until she fully recovered.
Vince Gill and Amy Grant’s relationship
Vince Gill and Amy Grant married in 2000. They initially met in 1993, while they were preparing to film a video for the title track from Grant’s 1994 album, House of Love. Grant described their first encounter as “instantly familiar,” and she was so affected by him as a human being that she embraced him as he was singing. Gill was inspired by Grant and composed a song called Whenever You Come Around, which he performed at the Ryman in 2015.
“I was inspired to write this song by a grin I saw for the first time on the face of a lady I’d never met.” Amy Grant did it in 1993. I was so affected by seeing that grin that I returned home and penned this song. I had no notion that after all these years, we’d end up together and have children… “Life is amusing.”
They had emotions for one other, although they were married at the time. After divorcing their previous relationships, they married in 2000. Grant’s children were said to be unprepared to join a new family. Corrina, Grant and Gill’s daughter, was born in March 2001.
The personal lives of Vince Gill and Amy Grant
Vince Gill married Janis Oliver for the first time in 1980. The couple met in Los Angeles and had a daughter, Jenny, in 1982. In 1997, they divorced. Amy Grant, on the other hand, had a husband named Gary Chapman. They married in June 1982 and have three children. Due to irreconcilable disagreements, Grant and Chapman divorced in 1999. When asked why she divorced Vince, Grant explained that it was not because she had affection for him. She said,
“From the beginning, Gary and I had a bumpy path. I believe what was so difficult – and this is what one of our counselors stated – is that occasionally an innocent individual may enter a situation and act like a giant spotlight. What they do is highlight the terrible dynamics that are already in place.”
Vince Gill rose to prominence in the 1970s as the frontman of the band Pure Prairie League. He had a tremendous solo career, releasing 20 studio albums and 40 singles, and he has received several awards, including two Grammys. Amy Grant is best known as “The Queen of Christian Pop,” having sold over 30 million CDs. The singer has six Grammy Awards and 22 Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association.
