Randy Travis Sings "Amazing Grace;" His First Performance After His Stroke

Veteran country music singer and committed Christian Randy Travis makes his first public performance. Travis sang the old favorite hymn "Amazing Grace" attended a funeral last week to celebrate the life of Kiepersol Estates founder Pierre de Wet.
The funeral was held at KE Bushman Celebration Center in Bullard, Texas. According to BullardNews.com, the funeral service for de Wet also included a musical tribute from Alabama's Randy Owen. De Wet is well known for his company, which owns 63 acres of vineyards that specializes in the production of estategrown red and white wines. He is also highly regarded for his involvement in the Wounded Warriors Project.
Last month, longtime friend Chuck Lipps, Vice President of West Virgina-based concert promotion group RMA, spent time with the singer and reported on his ongoing recovery. "He can talk ... say words, but no sentences," Lipps told the Parkersburg News and Sentinel. "He is alert and knew me."
Lipps shared that he only planned on seeing Travis for half an hour, but he was doing so well that he ended up staying all day where the two spent time looking at old photo albums and reminiscing about old times.
On July 7, 2013, Travis was admitted to a Dallas area hospital for viral cardiomyopathy after a viral upper respiratory infection. Three days later, Travis suffered a massive stroke and had surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Following his stroke, and despite physical therapy, Travis has been unable to sing or speak and has difficulty walking, having to rely on a cane. As of November 2014, he is slowly recovering, and can walk short distances without assistance and is relearning how to write and play the guitar, according to his then-fiancée Mary Davis
