Amy Grant Says She Had to Relearn to Sing and Still Has 'Issues with Short Term Memory' After Bike Wreck

Grant was in a bike accident in Nashville back in July 2022 — and a cyst was discovered in her throat six months later

Amy Grant is opening up about the aftermath of her traumatic bike crash in 2022.

In a Tuesday interview with E! News, the singer-songwriter detailed her journey back to normalcy after experiencing a brain injury and memory loss.

"I still have issues with my short term memory. My balance is still weird," Grant, 63, told the outlet. "I made a joke about it last night. You know, sometimes I walk around like I'm drunk and I just have to laugh about all of it."

She continued, "I can't remember what I can't remember. I don't know if I'll get back on a bike. There's so many great sports to enjoy and so... who knows."

The "Breath of Heaven" singer further explained that after her bike accident, she realized she had a cyst growing in her throat.

"I had this five hour surgery and they took it out. I had to learn to sing again," she said. "I just felt like an old beat-up car that went in and got a paint job."

"That's a gift," Grant said, adding that her plan is to continue performing.

In March of last year, she opened up about the cyst removal in an interview with Today's Craig Melvin.

"[I was] working with a vocalist and she said, 'What is happening in your throat? Lean your head back,'" she said.  "And I said, 'I know. It's like I've got an Adam's apple that keeps getting bigger.' Unbeknownst to me, I'd had a thyroglossal duct cyst."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, people are born with thyroglossal duct cysts and while they are usually benign, they can impede a person's ability to eat or drink, or in Grant's case, sing.

The "Baby, Baby" singer, who is married to country singer Vince Gill, said she was feeling better.

"I feel fantastic," she said. "I mean, really from 2020 on, I feel like I had to… if I were a car, I've made a lotta trips to the shop. And I feel like I'm emerging. I went, 'Oh man, I feel like a classic now.' And actually sort of re-revved up in a really beautiful way."

The cyst appeared six months after the bike accident that left the singer in the hospital.

Grant's rep confirmed to PEOPLE that she was hospitalized in stable condition back in July 2022 after she hit a pothole while riding her bike in Nashville. She was treated for cuts and abrasions at the time and held for observation.

Grant's accident came after she underwent open-heart surgery in February 2021 to correct a rare congenital heart condition that her doctor discovered during a checkup the year before.
