Brantley Gilbert is the latest in a growing line of stars doing what they can to help the victims of Hurricane Helene. The Georgia native has announced he has slashed the price of all remaining tickets for his Off The Rails Tour to $15 with a portion of the proceeds to benefit those impacted by last week’s storm. Additionally, Gilbert is encouraging fans to donate non-perishable food items at each tour stop. "The destruction we’ve seen of these communities affected by Hurricane Helene, knowing so many folks have not only lost their homes and their livelihoods, but also family members and friends, is heartbreaking,” said Gilbert in a statement. "Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to perform in and around many of those communities, always receiving a warm welcome. Now, it’s our turn to give back and contribute to the recovery process."
