New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert passes away at 45 after battling cancer for years

Chad Gilbert, founding member and guitarist of the pop-punk band New Found Glory, has died at the age of 45. The musician, who was diagnosed with cancer five years prior, passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 20, 2026, surrounded by his wife, mother, and close friends. A statement shared on his social media accounts revealed that Gilbert had been undergoing treatment for a rare form of cancer, including a pheochromocytoma tumour discovered in 2021, which required the removal of half his liver, gallbladder, and one adrenal gland. Further complications arose in 2026 when three tumours were found in his spine and brain, leading to emergency surgeries. Despite his health struggles, Gilbert continued to work with New Found Glory, contributing to their latest album 'Listen Up!' released in February 2026, and made a return to the stage in Nashville in June 2026, performing from a mobility scooter after his brain surgery. The bandmates paid tribute to Gilbert, highlighting his role as a guitarist, songwriter, and influential figure in shaping the band's sound over nearly three decades. They described him as a legendary musician whose biggest accomplishment was being a husband and father. Gilbert, born in Florida in 1981, co-founded New Found Glory in the late 1990s, helping establish the band as a key player in the early 2000s pop-punk scene. His career also included producing for other bands such as A Day To Remember and releasing music through his solo project 'What's Eating Gilbert'. He is survived by his wife Lisa, daughter Lily, mother Jackie, and brother Brian. The band's statement concluded with 'Rest in peace, Chad. We love you forever.'
