Brantley Gilbert pauses Mississippi show to help deliver his third child on tour bus

Gilbert returned to the stage an hour later

Brantley Gilbert’s Off The Rails Tour has a new meaning after the country star paused a show to help his wife deliver a baby over the weekend. Four songs into his headlining set in Tupelo, Mississippi on Friday (Oct 11th), Gilbert was rushed backstage so he could help his wife deliver their third child, a son, on his tour bus with the assistance of a midwife. One fan in attendance shared a video of an emotional Gilbert returning to the stage an hour later, stating, “We got a baby, Mississippi.” Gilbert was greeted by each band member with celebratory hugs.

Gilbert documented the special moment in a social media video over the weekend.

“So last night might have been the craziest night of my life,” he writes. “Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I’ll never forget. 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.”

The country star is currently on his Off The Rails Tour which wraps this weekend in Macon, Georgia. Last week, Gilbert slashed the price of all remaining tickets to $15 with a portion of the proceeds to benefit those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Additionally, Gilbert has called on his fans, encouraging fans to donate non-perishable food items at each tour stop.

Last month, the Georgia native released his seventh studio album, Tattoos, via The Valory Music Co.
