Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory) undergoes surgery to remove 3 brain tumors

This past Monday New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert posted that he was back in the hospital after doctors had found 3 brain tumors. After a successful surgery Gilbert made a post on social media about his health issues recently leading to this surgery.

Gilbert said that when playing a show in Nashville on Feb. 20, he was “struggling to control the movements” of his left hand. “My left leg was getting weaker by the day and I started stumbling and falling at times,” he shared.

“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 🙏🏻.”

Gilbert talked about his radiation oncologist explaining what had happened to him: “This is not a fatal blow and not the end of your story, just the beginning of a new chapter.” The musician said that though his “recovery has been bumpy at times,” he’s 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 ❤️”
