New Found Glory Guitarist Chad Gilbert Dead
The music world was deeply affected by the news of the passing of Chad Gilbert, the iconic founding member and lead guitarist of the rock band New Found Glory. Gilbert passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, at the age of 45.

While the details of his final days were kept private, the information surrounding his health provided context for the peaceful manner in which he departed. The fight for his well-being concluded, allowing him to rest.
