Amy Grant speaks on Vince Gill defending marriage during early media feud

Singer Amy Grant spoke about her marriage to country music singer Vince Gill in an interview with Fox News Digital. Grant stated that Gill is kind but possessive of a quick mind and is not afraid to protect her or put someone in their place when necessary. She recalled an instance where Gill threatened on air to confront radio host Don Imus after Imus mocked their marriage. [1]

The incident involving Don Imus turned what started as a media feud into a friendship, according to Fox News Digital. Grant, who is 65 years old, noted that Gill responds quickly whenever someone triggers his protective nature. [1]

Grant began her career in contemporary Christian music before crossing over to pop music in the mid 1980s, earning her the title of The Queen of Christian Pop. She was previously married to musician Gary Chapman until their 1999 divorce, after which she married Gill in 2000. Gill achieved initial mainstream success as lead singer of the rock band Pure Prairie League before embarking on a solo country music career in 1984. [4][5][7]

Both musicians continue to perform together and alongside other artists. American Songwriter reported that the couple are scheduled to perform their Christmas at the Ryman show, while BroadwayWorld reported that both Grant and Gill are set to appear in a tribute event for John Hiatt titled Riding With The King.
