Brantley Gilbert Pauses Concert to Stop a Violent Fan

After a bystander shared part of the startling interaction online, fans praised Gilbert's quick handling of the situation.

Brantley Gilbert doesn't play around when it comes to fan safety.

While touring parts of Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Niagara Falls this past weekend, Gilbert, 38, wasted no time getting involved when he spotted one fan in the crowd displaying inappropriate and downright dangerous behavior.

During his concert on Friday, Feb. 10, at the Fallsview Casino's Entertainment Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Gilbert stopped the show and hopped off stage to intervene in a situation that unfolded between what appeared to be an out-of-control fan and another concertgoer.

A bystander caught part of the startling incident on camera, later sharing the clip to social media and explaining what led up to the show's brief pause in the caption, "This is why we love Brantley Gilbert, the man behind me punched a girl, and @brantleygilbert came right down! ❤️."

In the now-viral video, a handful of concertgoers could be seen arguing while Gilbert was on stage. As the camera pans back and forth between Gilbert and his crowd of fans, several people can be heard screaming for security and other alarming phrases like "get him out!" Other concertgoers are seen tugging on the unruly fan and pointing him out to the singer.

Soon enough, the country crooner is seen climbing the barricade telling the man to "chill the f--k out" and "settle down" while he tries to unravel what just happened. Those who witnessed it began shouting that the fan in question had "punched a woman in the face."

Upon hearing this, Gilbert appeared to motion for security before saying something inaudible into the mic, and shortly after, the video cuts out. While it's unknown what exactly occurred once cameras stopped rolling, it's presumed the situation was handled without further injury.

Fans immediately praised the "Bottoms Up" singer for his swift action, sharing comments like "love this guy!!! Brantley Gilbert is literally the best guy ever !!" and "Good person good music since day one."

Puns were even thrown around, with some TikTokers suggesting the problem individual "didn’t hear 'read me my rights,'" a popular song by the artist.

Gilbert hasn't exactly addressed the situation or made an official statement regarding his decision to step in, but he alluded to the events in a cryptic tweet he shared the following night, which read: "It’s been one hell of a weekend to remember so far #bgnation… PA, y’all ready to throw down on a Saturday night??"

Clearly, one bad apple doesn't represent the bunch, and the rocker isn't letting the uncalled-for experience leave a bad taste in his mouth.

Those looking to catch the singer live may have missed this tour, but according to Gilbert's calendar, you'll have plenty of more chances this summer.  He's set to perform at the Brickie Bowl in Hobart, Indiana, on June 3 and alongside Nickelback for multiple dates in cities all over the country during the Get Rollin' tour.
