Nashville 411- Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Zac Brown Band
Now we know why Vince Gill dropped everything to be by Amy Grant’s side after her bike accident. In an interview with “Billboard” her reps went into detail about what happened.
She hit a pothole, was thrown from her bike, and hit her head SO hard that she was knocked unconscious for about 10 minutes. Keep in mind that she was
wearing a helmet.
The good news is she’s getting stronger and more alert every day. Her August tour dates are canceled but she hopes to resume a full schedule soon.
Dollywood is getting a new family friendly roller coaster, but you’ll have to wait until next year to ride it. It’s called Big Bear Mountain, it’ll have 3,990 feet of track, and it’ll be their “largest family adventure yet.” They posted a “first look” animation of the ride on Twitter.

Watching this might give you chills. Zac Brown Band honored a military veteran named Andy at a recent show. They brought him on stage as they performed “Chicken Fried” . . . and just like in the lyrics, he “saluted the ones who died.”
Andy’s daughter recorded it and it’s pretty cool to see him dress up in his uniform and make his way to the stage. (Andy joins Zac and the band at 0:37 in the video.) (After Midnite)
