  "account": "Guitarist Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory has passed away at the age of 45 after a long battle with cancer. He died peacefully in his sleep on September 20th, surrounded by loved ones. Gilbert first received a diagnosis of metastatic pheochromocytoma of the liver in 2021, followed by adrenocortical carcinoma. Despite undergoing surgery and being declared cancer-free in January 2022, he later required additional surgery due to spinal tumours. In addition, he experienced a loss of motor function in his left side earlier this year. Gilbert gained fame as the vocalist of Shai Hulud before co-founding New Found Glory, where he became a vital member of the pop-punk scene. He also worked as a producer for various artists and had a solo project. Fellow musicians and fans mourn his loss, remembering his impact on both music and personal life.",
