It feels like these past few months, many country stars have had to stop their concerts, primarily due to illness. Well, Brantley Gilbert has had to do the same, but for a much sweeter reason.

Gilbert had no flu when he had to stop his concert. Under the guise of a technical difficulty, Brantley Gilbert stopped the show to allow a crew member to propose to his girlfriend live on stage. A video taken of the moment was shared to his Instagram.
When on stage, the singer feigned a technical difficulty. He called over one of his crew members, Brandon Cullop, who rushed onto stage to help him with it. Gilbert told the crowd of the technical difficulty, too, to further sell the lie.
However, the technical difficulty with the device was too much for Cullop to handle on his own, so he called over his girlfriend, Lia Obek, to give them a hand.
"Sorry, this may be a little unprofessional, but this is one of my guy's girlfriends here. She's gonna kinda help us figure this out," Gilbert announced to the crowd. The singer ushered Lia to the front of the stage so her back was turned to Cullop...

The moment was a magical one for all fans in attendance and anyone watching it online. Fans took to the comments to share their thoughts and excitement.
"The microphone hand off was the best!" one exclaimed. And I have to agree, it was rather smooth.
"Taking care of the crew that takes care of you...awesome to see. With an after party too boot. Love it! Congrats to y'all!" supported another.
"Soo incredible to watch happen!!! Congratulations!" commented a lucky fan who saw the moment live.
Lia Obke herself commented under the video, writing, "A night I will remember forever!!" I suppose a surprise like that would be pretty hard to forget.
