Happy 30th Birthday Brantley
Brantley Gilbert turns 30 years old today! When he co-hosted Country Countdown USA a few months ago, Lon Helton asked him how he felt about the big day: “The honest to God truth, I’ve got a little lady who’s special to me in my life right now, her mom was telling me that 30 was the worst birthday for her ever. She said, ‘I’m not young any more, I’m not in my 20s,’ and I felt awkward, I didn’t know how to tell her, but I said, ‘Darlin,’ I have to be honest with you, there were times in my life, where I really didn’t think, and there were people around me who were pretty sure, and I had doctors tell me I wasn’t gonna make it to 30. That’s the honest to God truth. To me, to be where I’m at right now, I’m in a really good place, better than anywhere I’ve been before, I’m in a pretty solid place mentally, spiritually, to be 30 years old, to be where I am in life, I’m pretty proud of that. It could have gone the other way. The probability of me making it this far going the way I was going are between slim and none. So I’m glad to be here. Bring 30 on! I bet I’ll tear more things up between 30 and 40 than I did between 20 and 29!”
As Brantley said, he’s now engaged to a young lady he’s known for many years, and he recently celebrated his 3rd year of being sober.
