New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert has revealed that he is recovering from brain surgery. He underwent the operation to remove three tumors.

Gilbert said the following:

“On February 20th, I played a show in Nashville and was struggling to control the movements of my left hand. My left leg was getting weaker by the day and I started stumbling and falling at times.

On the 23rd I was taken to the ER where a CT scan showed 3 new tumors had appeared in my brain. On 2/27 I had successful brain surgery and have been recovering in the hospital since. I regained function of my left hand immediately 🙏🏻

My radiation oncologist described it like this: “this is not a fatal blow and not the end of your story, just the beginning of a new chapter.” My recovery has been bumpy at times but I’m feeling much better now and getting stronger by the day.

Thankful to everyone who’s checked in on me and helped my family during this lengthy and challenging journey. Can’t use my phone much yet and have a lot of messages to catch up on. More stories to come when my brain is working well again.

Love you all and am looking forward to sharing more music and fun with you as we come out of this ❤️”
