Shortly after the start of his Friday show in Mississippi, country singer Brantley Gilbert left fans hanging – albeit for good reason – when he rushed offstage due to an emergency: his wife had gone into labor.
Gilbert’s wife Amber was on the tour bus.
We had no time to get to the hospital.
Gilbert retold the story on social media on Saturday.
He wrote on Instagram, “Last Night was probably the craziest night of my life.” “Watching a woman do such a remarkable thing will always be etched in my memory.”
“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.”
Gilbert’s representative sent a photo of the child after birth.

The video then cuts to Gilbert on his tour bus, calling his mother to announce the arrival of her new grandchild. The camera flashes to a newborn baby lying atop a towel. Pictures included in the montage show Amber lying on the couch as she is doing skin to skin with her child while Gilbert looks at her adoringly.
Gilbert called his wife a “freaking savage” after she gave birth to their 3rd child on the bus.
“Well, I’m going to go finish this show, and I’ll FaceTime you after,” he then tells his mother as the footage fades to him walking back onstage. It’s unclear how long Gilbert was absent from the concert.
He told the crowd “We had a baby”. The crowd erupted in ecstatic applause.
The couple announced their third pregnancy on Mother’s Day.
Gilbert’s next performance is scheduled for October 17, in Savannah Georgia.
