14 months, 1,000 orders. Very thankful for this. Never would’ve thought this was something I could handle on top of a 9-5. And to be honest, it is very difficult at times. But it gives me a feeling of purpose that I don’t get from my day job, plus a little extra cash. Grateful.
Chad Gilbert, guitarist and co-founding member of New Found Glory, has died at the age of 45.
Gilbert had battled cancer since 2021, when doctors removed a rare tumor from his adrenal gland that was initially diagnosed as a pheochromocytoma. The cancer later spread to his spine, lungs, back, and brain, requiring multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. In April 2026, Gilbert said his diagnosis had been revised to stage 4 adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of adrenal cancer.
