Vince Gill stunned his audience at the Ryman in Nashville yesterday sharing a song called Forever Changed, inspired by trauma in his own childhood.

Vince told his music industry audience that he was happy people are finally feeling free to come forward and share their stories of abuse and then shared that he too experienced abuse at the hands of a junior high gym teacher.  He went on to reveal that he was in seventh grade when  the teacher acted inappropriately towards him.
