Country music star Brantley Gilbert made an impromptu interruption to his concert Friday night – disappearing off stage to help his pregnant wife deliver their baby on the tour bus.
Saturday Gilbert posted a video to Instagram, detailing what he called “the craziest night of my life.”
The New York Post reports that Gilbert’s wife Amber went into labor just he as was starting his set at the Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Miss., famously the birthplace of Elvis Presley. A midwife was reportedly on the bus to assist, according to Country Rebel website.
After the baby was born – a third child for the couple – Gilbert returned to stage where he told the crowd, “We got a baby!”
He 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.”
