Chad Everett Gilbert (born March 9, 1981)[5] is an American musician and record producer. He is best known as a founding member of the rock band New Found Glory, for whom he plays lead guitar, sings backing vocals, and composes music. He was also the lead vocalist for the band's now-defunct side-project, International Superheroes of Hardcore. Additionally, Gilbert was the vocalist for the hardcore punk band Shai Hulud between 1995 and 1998, and from 2012 to 2013.

Gilbert has produced records, notably H2O's Nothing to Prove and A Day to Remember's albums, Homesick, What Separates Me from You and Common Courtesy. In 2010, Gilbert announced he would release solo material online, free of charge,[6] and has released several demos and 7" vinyl records under the name What's Eating Gilbert.[7]

Early life

Chad Everett Gilbert was born on March 9, 1981, in Coral Springs, Florida.[8] He attended J. P. Taravella High School,[9] but left after the 11th-grade after New Found Glory got signed to California-based record label Drive-Thru Records.[10]

Personal life

Gilbert married Sherri DuPree of the rock band Eisley in February 2007,[11] and divorced later in the year.[12] He also married Paramore's lead vocalist and keyboardist Hayley Williams from February 2016[13] until they divorced in 2017[14] due to infidelity on Gilbert's part.[15] Gilbert married Lisa Cimorelli, member of the all-sisters singing group Cimorelli, on October 3, 2020.[16] They have a daughter, Lily, born July 17, 2021.[17]

On January 26, 2010, Gilbert reported that "suspicious cells" had been found in his thyroid and he would be getting half of his thyroid surgically removed.[18] Four days later, Gilbert posted on his Twitter that the surgery had been a success and no cancer had been found.[19]

On December 19, 2021, Gilbert reported that he underwent emergency surgery at the ICU to remove a rare cancerous tumor called a pheochromocytoma after he was found unresponsive in his bed at home.[20]

On August 15, 2022, Gilbert reported that he had been diagnosed with cancer again and would undergo surgery the following day after another pheochromocytoma tumor was discovered in his spine.[21]

On February 11, 2023, Gilbert reported that he had been diagnosed with cancer again and would undergo intense chemotherapy after another pheochromocytoma tumor was discovered in his lungs and back.[22]
