Country music star Brentley Gilbert halts concert to rush to wife's side as she gives birth on tour bus

A few minutes into his set at the Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Miss., Friday night, country rocker Brantley Gilbert stopped the show to be by his wife Amber's side as she gave birth to their third child on his tour bus.

"So last night might have been the craziest night of my life," Gilbert wrote in a post with an Instagram video that detailed the family emergency. "Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I’ll never forget."

In the video, Gilbert is whisked off stage for an "emergency backstage," going from a walk to a run as the camera follow him. Gilbert is next seen talking to his mother, telling her that she has "a new grandbaby."

When Gilbert's mom asks how Amber's doing he responds proudly, "She's a freaking savage." The Gilberts also reportedly had a midwife present assisting with the birth.

After his wife had delivered their child, Gilbert went back onstage and announced to the audience, "We got a baby!" to resounding applause.

On Instagram, Gilbert went on to thank his "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."

Tupelo, by the way, is also the birthplace of Elvis Presley, so the littlest Gilbert is in good company.
