By james art Brantley Gilbert and his wife, three days postpartum, share the crazy story of the birth of their son Abram.
The country singer went viral over the weekend after he abruptly left a concert in Mississippi to witness his wife Amber give birth to the couple’s third child on his tour bus. He would later return to the show.
“I can’t say that was on my bingo card,” the country singer joked on “Fox & Friends.” “It was kind of crazy.”

Gilbert admitted that he and his wife explained such a situation. “We actually had a midwife with us so we were prepared if that happened. But [Amber] we had a great night before, so we figured we had about a week left,” Gilbert said. “And we didn’t.”
The birth came quickly for Amber.

“I don’t know what I was thinking at that point other than, ‘I’ve got to get this baby out.’ I went from reading a book in bed to calling the midwife in a matter of minutes,” she revealed. “So I was just ready to get the show — my show on the road. Not his.”

Just as they had prepared for the birth, the couple said they also wondered what would happen if the baby was born during one of his shows.
“We joked about it, we didn’t think in a million years it would happen on the show,” he shared. “And I joked that I’d come back – if it happened during the show, I’d come back and hold the thrush baby, like “[The] Lion King.” He said throwing his hands in the air.

“Obviously that didn’t happen, but when the time came, my tour manager came in and said, ‘Hey, if we start in the next 15 minutes, we can finish [the show].’
“I looked at her … at first she was like, ‘Really?'” he said with a laugh. But Amber’s initial reaction quickly melted away. “She had this look of understanding and was like, ‘You have to go.'”
“I knew it would be quick and he’d be back,” she admitted. “I had time to clean up and just sit with my baby for a minute, so that was good.”
When Gilbert finally returned to his show on Friday, he let the crowd know what happened. In a video posted on social media, the country singer revealed on stage that he helped deliver the baby.
“I’ve got to catch my baby boy,” he said.
Gilbert also confirmed to “Fox & Friends” that the tour bus was actually where Amber first told him she was pregnant. They announced their pregnancy publicly on Mother’s Day in May 2024.
“A lot happened on that tour bus, we spent a lot of time on it,” Gilbert said.
His next appearance is in Savannah, Georgia, on Thursday.
