Amy found fame in the 1990s and is still touring

It came two years after she underwent heart surgery when she was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect PAPVR (partial anomalous pulmonary venous return).

"My own birth defect was an encroaching killer, and I had no idea," she told fans in 2021. "So my advice would be, take care of yourself, the world needs you. Even if you feel like everything is fine, you don’t really know what’s going on on the inside. We need the gift of each other, so even if you go, ’Oh, I got nothing on the radar,’ just get somebody else to check it out."
