Brantley Gilbert Pauses Concert To Help His Wife Deliver Their Baby in Tour Bus

Having spent nearly 20 years in the music industry, Brantley Gilbert knows the stress that can come with touring. Even with a fantastic crew and years of experience, nothing can prepare a performer for the unexpected. And on Friday night, Gilbert learned just how unpredictable life can be. While entertaining fans in Mississippi, the singer quickly rushed off the stage, leaving them wondering what exactly happened. Although unknown to them at the time, the country singer ran to be by his wife as she welcomed their baby boy. 

While traveling the country for his 2024 Off the Rails Tour, Gilbert and his wife, Amber, anxiously awaited the birth of their third child. Knowing that the baby could come at any moment, it was somewhat of a shock it would happen during one of his concerts. Shortly after taking the stage to perform his set, the country star was pulled away as he ran from the concert venue. Thankfully, his wife wasn’t too far away as she waited on their tour bus.  

Standing beside his wife, Gilbert celebrated the birth of his son by sharing a brief moment with his wife and making sure to call family members. But knowing that a sea of fans waited on him, the singer quickly returned to the stage to finish his set.
