Millie’s family turned to social media following her surgery to let everyone know that she was doing well. The Tennessean reports:

Grant, 56, started her career as a teenager in Nashville, and through the years has become popular in both Christian music and contemporary pop circles. She has won six Grammy awards for her work and also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is arguably best known for her single “Baby, Baby” from her Heart in Motion album that was released in 1991. She married Gary Chapman (also a Christian musician) in 1982. The couple had three children together but divorced in 1999. She went on to marry country singer-songwriter Vince Gill in 2000.
