Country singer Brantley Gilbert interrupts his concert to help his wife give birth on the tour bus

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

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

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

The musician’s video, 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 exiting the stage.

The video then takes viewers inside Gilbert’s tour bus, where they see images of the musician bonding with his wife and newborn son. In one of the most tender shots in the video, 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 talking to his mother on the phone. “You got a new grandchild,” he tells her.

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

After Gilbert tells his mother that he is going to “finish this show,” viewers see footage of him walking back on stage to cheers.

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

“Thank you to our road family for rallying around us, to Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little guy into the world, to Tupelo, Mississippi for showing us insane love and support, and especially to Amber Gilbert for making me love you and “Showing me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be,” Brantley Gilbert wrote in his caption.

The musician’s fans took to the comments on his post to express their joy for him and his growing family.

“That’s so great, congratulations! Baby can literally say he’s been touring since he was born! wrote one, adding a heart emoji.

“What a story this little guy has to tell,” wrote another.

Several fans called Amber Gilbert herself a “rock star” for apparently giving birth to the couple’s baby on a tour bus. “What a woman and a story!” One remarked, adding: “Congratulations to you all! 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 they were expecting their third child in a joint post on Instagram on May 12. “How about Mother’s Day?” They captioned several beach photos of themselves holding up a sonogram.
