AC/DC Fan Goes Into Labor at Melbourne Stadium Show

Brian Johnson of AC/DCSamantha Williamson is one hell of an AC/DC fan. Well into her ninth month of pregnancy, the expectant mother and her boyfriend Jason Mitchell attended the Australian hard rock giant's performance at Melbourne 's Etihad Stadium last Saturday.

Plans for the group to shake the couple all night long were almost interrupted by some serious contractions, which were at the height of discomfort during the segue from the group's 1990 hit 'Thunderstruck' into its devilish anthem, 'Hells Bells,' but Williamson managed to suffer through them and kept rocking. After the show's 11PM ending, Mitchell drove his girlfriend from the stadium to Gippsland Hospital in Garrigal, Victoria.

"Not even the baby was going to stop me seeing AC/DC," Williamson told the Herald Sun. "I love them to death and I wasn't going to miss their performance for anything." Thirty-five hours after their arrival in the hospital, Williamson gave birth to a son on Monday at 10:30AM.

Named Jack in homage to the 1975 AC/DC track 'The Jack,' the parents intend to include the name Angus -- a tribute to the band's guitarist Angus Young -- somewhere in the child's moniker.

As for the concert itself, Williamson says its one she won't soon forget. "We'll remember Angus Young going crazy onstage while baby Angus was putting in quite a performance offstage," she said.

I am 5wks away from birth, I have seated tickets to the Perth concert and I'm going! It doesn't make me a bad mum, I'll rock out and enjoy the concert, and if I go into labor then I bail or if the contractions are far apart, I stay if I can bear the pain.

Leave the lady alone, she didn't do anything wrong!

I think the odd thing is naming there son Jack after the song. Being that the Jack is about an STD

Sorry, but if she didn't have that baby for 12 hrs AFTER the concert, she was NOT in labor at the concert. If she would have shown up at the hospital during concert hours, she would have been sent home. Sorry, but anyone with medical knowledge and a brain would be very unimpressed by this idiots "15 minutes of fame".

So! To all the people who say she's selfish and an uncarring parent explain to me how! Are you stupid? The baby wasn't born until more then a day later? AND there are multiple ambulences at shows like this just waiting for something bad to happen! AND all the members of AC/DC are so old they probably have at least on doctor back stage!
As for the people saying a concert with a bunch of drunk smoking people crashing into you is not the place to be when nine months pregnant. Well, have you people ever been to a concert like this!? It's not like the entire place is a mosh pit! I highly doubt she had any one drinking or smoking around her most of the time. And no one would be crashing into her because she is sitting in the fucking seats! only about a third of the people at these concerts are actually in the pit.
If any one has any qaulms with what I say they should tell me so and let me destroy them!
Rock on Samantha Williamson and your new song Jack!!!

oh! And there is no need to pray for this child! It's not like the members of AC/DC actually worship Satan or anything! xD

WOW! This all from a band with lyrics like, "I'M on the highway to hell! Hey Satan, look at me! My friends are going to be there too!" Please pray or this child.

i guess she had her last HOORAH... lol.. but seriously, you never know when you will go into labor and there are always ambulances at those concerts and plenty of people to help if needed... i am sure there was even a doctor or two in the audience. besides, if she were to have the baby there, she may have been able to meet the band members. i am sure it would have been a show stopper, at least briefly.. may as well ROCK.
