Sensational singer and band musician Amy Grant recently had to undergo open-heart surgery to correct a rare heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR).

This condition causes oxygen-rich blood to flow back to the lungs instead of other parts of the body. While the condition was asymptomatic and she had it since birth, Amy needed to have surgery done to correct it and prevent any issues in the future.

In February, the "Heart Awareness Month," Amy told fans that her doctors had discovered she had a rare heart condition since birth after conducting a battery of tests.

She also had five platinum record sales in 1991.

Grant noted that she was going to take time off from concerts and camp trips to take care of her health and revealing she was going to undergo surgery.

During her career, she has released hit singles such as "Baby, Baby," "Marching to Zion," and "Heartbeat," among others. She also had five platinum record sales in 1991, which introduced her to a broader audience.

She has been married to her husband, country singer Vince Gill for 20 years, and the two have left their audience in awe when singing together.

Ultimately, it is excellent news to note that Amy's surgery went well, and like her fans, one can hope that she makes a full recovery in the days and months to come.
