Why is Matthew Ramsey using a cane? Old Dominion lead singer ATV accident explored

Singer and songwriter Matthew Ramsey was recently seen at the ACM Awards 2023, but he was spotted walking with the help of a cane. The reason for using it is due to the injuries he suffered following an ATV accident that happened back in March of this year.

He also expressed gratitude to the band members of Old Dominion for helping him when he needed it. He also delivered a speech where he credited his success to Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, and Randy Travi and stated that he was happy since the band members also joined him at the event. He added:

"But I also know that there are people obviously hurting in the world right now, trying to figure out how to make sense of divisiveness and shootings and things like that, and there are people that are really hurting right now."

Ramsey said that he and the rest of the bandmates are happy to be at one place where country music fans have also arrived, for whom they have created music over the years.
