Eric Church‘s son Boone was born while Eric was still on the Toby Keith “Locked & Loaded” tour last year. Now that Eric is headlining his own tour with sold out dates he can call the shots, including bringing wife Katherine and son Boone on the road with him. But just because Eric has sold out 21 shows (and counting) doesn’t mean he’s been given a free pass on Dad duties!!
“We were playing South Haven, Mississippi, and we had 10,000 people, and you walk off stage feeling like a rock star,” he said in an interview with the Boot. “I went back up on the bus and Boone had a dirty diaper. I still had my ears [monitors] around my neck, I still had my hat and sunglasses on, and I changed his diaper. I wasn’t four minutes from walking off stage.”
“The funniest thing about it is, I remember when I used to go to shows, and you always wonder what the person you just saw on stage is doing,” he remembered. “You’d be in the parking lot, in traffic, and you’re wondering what they’re doing. If they only knew that I was up there changing a diaper! And Boone didn’t care. He was just laughing the whole time. So, it was a funny, unique moment.”
