Brantley Gilbert and his wife, three days postpartum, are sharing the crazy birth story of their son, Abram. The country singer went viral over the weekend after abruptly leaving his Mississippi concert to witness his wife Amber deliver the couple’s third child on his tour bus. He would later return to the show. “I can’t say this was on my bingo card,” the country singer joked on “Fox & Friends.” “It was kind of crazy.” COUNTRY SINGER BRANTLEY GILBERT ABRUPTLY PAUSES CONCERT AS WIFE GIVES BIRTH ON TOUR BUS Gilbert admitted that he and his wife had accounted for a situation like this. “We actually had a midwife out with us, so we were prepared if it were to happen. But [Amber] had a great night before, so we thought we had a week or so left,” Gilbert said. “And we didn’t.” Labor came quickly for Amber. “I don’t know what I was thinking at that moment other than, ‘I have to get this baby out.’ I went from reading a book in the 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.” CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

But Amber’s initial reaction quickly melted away. “She had this look of understanding and was like, ‘You need to go.’” “I knew it would be quick and he would be back,” she acknowledged. “I had time to get cleaned up and just sit with my baby for a minute, so it was fine.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP When Gilbert finally returned to his show on Friday, he let the crowd know what had happened.
