A young couple from Curitiba, Brazil, has an incredible story about the birth of their second child.

As fans of rock music, before their first child was born, Jamie and Elle Hunt often went to music concerts and performances. They have been married for 17 years, and together they run a tattoo studio in Brazil.

But after the birth of their first daughter Letizia, as well as the beginning of the covid-pandemic, the presence of such musical performances became significantly more difficult.

In 2020, they planned to go to a concert of the famous rock band "Metallica". After learning about such a concert, they immediately bought the tickets. But due to the then covid-measures in Brazil, the concert was cancelled.

Hearing Metallica live is a dream for us, Ellie tells "The Guardian".

Two painful years in the pandemic have passed, and the Hunt family received happy news last year, they are expecting another child.

It was then announced on social media that the Metallica concert has been rescheduled for May 2022.

"When we found out that the concert was rescheduled, we were immediately happy. "But then I remembered, I'll be 39 weeks pregnant at a Metallica concert," says Elle.

When they were at their doctor's check-up, Elle asked the doctor if it would be okay if she went to the concert, after which he advised her that there would be no problem if she sat down.

So they decided to go to the concert and make their dream come true.

"When we arrived in front of the stadium, I was great, I didn't feel anything. I even started crying because I was so happy to hear Metallica live. But as soon as they came out for their performance, I started to feel contractions," says El.

Worried about his wife, Jamie asked security for help. Confused, they didn't know how to help, so after Elle's condition worsened, they decided to take her to the medical team that was at the concert.

The security initially wanted to call an ambulance, but the baby was already taken out by the medical team.

The baby was born just as the band played their last song. Then El was taken to the hospital together with the baby.

Elle told this story about British "The Guardian".
