Brantley Gilbert Stops Show To Help His Wife Give Birth

The Show Must Go On
Brantley Gilbert was ready for the baby’s debut. He took to Instagram to share clips from the baby’s birth, as well as the audience’s reaction to the baby announcement. The video shows Brantley Gilbert’s band congratulating him.
The singer knew that some of his fans would think returning to the stage right after his wife gave birth was a strange choice. But he had a very good reason for it.
“I know it seems crazy to come back out, and a lot of you moms are probably in here like, ‘What the fuck is wrong with this dude?’ But for 20 years this is the only life I’ve ever known. And I know a lot of you have been coming to shows for 20 years and had my back for 20 years, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. God bless y’all, man.”
