Country rocker Brantley Gilbert ran off stage in the middle of his concert Friday night to help his pregnant wife deliver their baby on a tour bus during “the craziest night of my life.”
Gilbert’s wife, Amber, went into labor just as the multi-platinum musician began his performance at the Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi, during his “Off the rails tour.”
The “bottom-up” hitmaker shared a video on Instagram capturing the events of the night when he was suddenly pulled aside for a “backstage emergency.” That’s when he found out Amber was about to welcome her third child on her tour bus.
“Last night could have been the craziest night of my life. “Seeing such an incredible woman do something so incredible is something I will never forget,” Gilbert wrote on Instagram.
While the video featured his 2019 ballad “Man That Hung the Moon,” a song about a father’s love for his baby, the singer had an emotional Facetime conversation with his mother.
She asked the singer how he was doing and he replied, “not as good as you’re about to be. “You have a new grandson.”
“Do I have a new grandson? Yeah?” she responded excitedly as the social media video showed black and white images of him holding the newborn.
When his mother asked him how Amber was doing, he responded that she was “a fucking savage” before adding that he was “going to finish the show.”
Gilbert ran back to the stage to reveal the news of his family’s new addition to his fans.
“We have a baby!” he exclaimed to a sea of followers who responded with huge applause.
“Thank you to our road family for supporting us, to Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little one into the world, to Tupelo, Mississippi, for showing us so much love and support, and most of all… Amber Gilbert, for letting me love you and showing me EXACTLY what Incredibly strong a woman can be. I love you.”
She also shared the special video on her Instagram stories page with the caption “We have a new addition to the Gilbert family… God is good.”
Country Rebel reports that a the midwife was on the bus helping with childbirth.
The newborn’s name has not yet been revealed, but the child will share a historic birthplace with Elvis Presley, who was also born in Tupelo.
The new baby will have two older brothers, Barrett, 6, and Braylen, 5.
Brantley and Amber Gilbert, founder of a hybrid homeschool group, met in high school and reconnected years later.
In a 2014 interview on “The Bobby Bones Show,” Amber said their relationship was “on and off for a few years” before getting engaged in 2014. They married in 2015.
