Country singer Brantley Gilbert interrupts concert to help woman give birth on tour bus

Country music star Brantley Gilbert cut short his Oct. 11 concert in Tupelo, Mississippi, to welcome his third child.

Gilbert abruptly left the stage shortly after the concert started for a “backstage emergency”. His wife Amber apparently gave birth on his tour bus, according to a video the musician posted on Instagram the next day.

“So last night was quite possibly the craziest night of my life. Seeing such an amazing woman do something so amazing is something I will never forget,” Gilbert wrote in his caption.

The musician’s video, which is set to his 2019 ballad “Man That Hung the Moon,” about a father’s love for his young son, begins with footage of him hastily leaving the stage.

The video then takes viewers to Gilbert’s tour bus, where they see footage of the musician bonding with his wife and newborn son. In one of the video’s most tender shots, Gilbert’s wife holds the couple’s child as she and her husband stare into each other’s eyes.

The video also includes footage of Gilbert speaking on the phone with his mother. “You have a new grandbaby,” he tells her.

When his mother asks how his wife is doing, Gilbert smiles proudly and replies, “She’s a damn savage,” before becoming emotional.

After Gilbert tells his mother he’s “going to finish this show,” viewers see footage of him walking onto the stage to cheers.

“We have a baby,” he tells his screaming fans.

“Thank you to our road family who rallied around us, Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little guy into the world, Tupelo, Mississippi for showing us crazy love and support, and most of all…Amber Gilbert, for fact that allowed me to love you and shows me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be, I love you,” Brantley Gilbert wrote in his caption.

The musician’s fans expressed how happy they were for him and his growing family in the comments on his post.

“This is so amazing, congratulations! Baby can literally say he’s been on tour since he was born!” wrote one, adding a heart emoji.

“What a story that little man has to tell,” wrote another.

Several fans called Amber Gilbert a “rock star” in her own right because she appeared to have delivered the couple’s baby on a tour bus. “What a woman and a story!” one person commented, adding: “Congratulations everyone! Such a cute little guy!”

Brantley and Amber Gilbert, who have been married since 2015, are also parents to son Barrett, 6, and daughter Braylen, 5.

The couple announced in a joint post on Instagram on May 12 that they were expecting their third child. “What kind of Mother’s Day is this?” they captioned several beach photos of themselves holding up an ultrasound scan.
