Country star Brantley Gilbert was recently met with an unexpected surprise during a show in Tupelo, Mississippi last week. Shortly after he kicked off his set, Gilbert paused the performance after discovering his wife had gone into labor in their tour bus. However, the singer would eventually return onstage to inform the crowd of the good news and finish the concert.
Gilbert recounted the incident on social media, “So last night might have been the craziest night of my life.” He added, “Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I’ll never forget.” The singer continued, “Thank you to our road family for rallying around us, Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little dude into the world, Tupelo, Mississippi for showing us mad love and support, and most of all … Amber Gilbert, for letting me love you and showing me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be. I love you.”
“She’s a freaking savage,” Gilbert said, describing his wife after she delivered their third child on the tour bus. “Well, I’m going to go finish this show, and I’ll FaceTime you after,” the artist told his mother over FaceTime, before going back onstage to finish the show. “We got a baby,” he told the crowd upon his return, to which he was met with a roaring cheer.
Gilbert and his wife, Amber, sat down with Fox News to given an interview about the experience. Former White House Press Secretary under the Trump administration, Kayleigh McEnany, asked the Gilberts about the sudden offstage emergency, “Did you ever think it would be your wife giving birth?” The country star responded, “No, I can’t say this was on my bingo card.”
