If you’ve been wondering how Chad Gilbert’s been doing lately, he’s just shared an update — and it’s equal parts emotional and inspiring. The New Found Glory guitarist took to Instagram with a smile, a red Telecaster, and some seriously heartfelt words about the tough journey he’s been on these past few months.
Chad’s been undergoing immunotherapy treatment and, in his own words, it’s finally starting to make a difference. “We’ve got a great combo going that’s showing some good progress,” he wrote. He also opened up about lingering side effects, like the numbness and pain in his hands and feet — something that’s made daily life a challenge, especially for a musician. But the good news? He’s feeling a little better every day.
And despite everything, Chad’s not slowing down. He’s planning to hit the stage in Nashville on Monday, July 14th, at Brooklyn Bowl, and even hopes to catch The Offspring’s Atlanta show the very next day. “We’ve got a sick set planned for Nashville, with a few old surprises and a full-on, non-stop energetic setlist,” he shared. Sounds like a show you won’t want to miss.
It’s always inspiring to see someone turn a hard season into a reason to keep pushing forward — and Chad’s doing exactly that. Between making new music, managing treatment, and planning shows, he’s proving once again what resilience looks like in real time.
We’re rooting for you, Chad.
