This is a birth story for centuries.

Country rock singer Brantley Gilbert shared all the details about the “craziest night of my life” in an Instagram video on Saturday. He revealed that his wife, Amber Cochran Gilbert, went into labor while he was in the middle of a show at the Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi, during his “Off the Rails Tour.”

The video opens with Gilbert shaking on stage, when moments later “he’s pulled backstage for emergency treatment,” the onscreen text reads. It then cuts to Gilbert on the phone with his mother, telling her the great news: “You have a new grandchild.”

The couple named their new bundle of joy Abram Howell Gilbert, born on October 11.

As his mother is heard celebrating on the phone, the video cuts to black and white clips of their newborn child, a son. Gilbert’s mother then asked him how his wife was doing, to which he replied, “She’s a fucking tomboy.” His mother added: “I know she is. She’s amazing. She is absolutely amazing.”

Still, the show must go on. In the video, Gilbert is seen hanging up on his mom because he had to “go finish the show.” Back on stage, the country singer told fans: “We’re having a baby.”

As concertgoers erupted in congratulations, Gilbert’s colleagues also embraced him and celebrated the news.

Sharing the video of her child’s birth story, Gilbert wrote: “Watching such an incredible woman do such an incredible thing is something I will never forget. Thanks to our road family for rallying around us, to Brittany Thornton for helping us achieve this little dude in the world, Tupelo, Mississippi, for showing us crazy 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.”

The Gilberts have been married since 2015 and are parents to son Barrett, 6, and daughter Brylene, 5.

“We will never forget how you got here,” the couple wrote in another joint Instagram post, “and we can’t wait to see what you do here.”
