  "account": "Gillian Gilbert, a member of the iconic band New Order, has announced she is battling cancer. The revelation came after a recent confusion sparked by an interview with bandmate Stephen Morris.\n\nDuring the interview with Rolling Stone, Morris mentioned a health issue that prevented him from attending the band's upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in November. Gilbert, responding to the media storm, clarified that she is the one dealing with cancer, not Morris.\n\nGilbert expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and said she would appreciate some privacy as she undergoes treatment. Earlier this year, New Order announced that both Morris and Gilbert would not be joining the band for their South American tour, which begins in late November. This marks the first shows by the band without Morris.",
