New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert is recovering after undergoing surgery to remove three tumors from his brain.
In an Instagram post published Monday, Gilbert shares that he was playing a show on Feb. 20 and noticed he was “struggling to control the movements of my left hand.”
“My left leg was getting weaker by the day and I started stumbling and falling at times,” Gilbert writes. “On the 23rd I was taken to the ER where a CT scan showed 3 new tumors had appeared in my brain. On 2/27 I had successful brain surgery and have been recovering in the hospital since.”
“I regained function of my left hand immediately,” he continues. “My radiation oncologist described it like this: ‘this is not a fatal blow and not the end of your story, just the beginning of a new chapter.'”
Gilbert has undergone multiple surgeries since first being diagnosed with a tumor in 2021.

Millions of fans came back to their computers and phones to check out BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE when it streamed live on Netflix on March 21.
The 12-song concert, performed live from Seoul, South Korea, was the K-pop superstars’ first full group show in nearly four years. According to Netflix, it drew 18.4 million global viewers, counting the number of viewers who watched live and the number of viewers who watched it on replay 24 hours after the concert ended.
Netflix will stream the documentary BTS: THE RETURNon Friday.
In other BTS streaming news, the group celebrated the release of their new album, ARIRANG, Monday night in New York for an audience of 1,000 of their top Spotify fans. In addition to performing ARIRANG tracks “SWIM,” “NORMAL” and “2.0,” they did a Q&A with singer/actress Suki Waterhouse.
During the Q&A, the group explained that their new single “SWIM” is about “not stopping, even when you’re facing tough times and emotional waves.” And RM, who hurt his ankle ahead of the Netflix concert and can’t dance, said he’s “getting better.”

Jay-Z is opening up about the now-dismissed sexual assault lawsuit filed against him a little over a year ago, saying the allegations took a severe toll on him.
In a pair of interviews with GQ earlier this year, published Tuesday, the music mogul reflected on the 2024 lawsuit, filed on behalf of a woman who accused Jay-Z and former rapper and record producer Sean “Diddy” Combs of allegedly taking turns sexually assaulting her at a party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, when she was just 13 years old.
Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, and Combs both denied the allegations, and the civil case was dropped in February 2025 after the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice through her attorney.
“It was hard. Really hard. I was heartbroken,” Jay-Z said, speaking with GQ. “I was really heartbroken by everything that occurred.”
The rapper described feeling “uncontrollable anger” over the allegations, adding, “You don’t put that on someone — that’s a thing that you better be super sure.”
Jay-Z said that despite that frustration, he was confident the court case would be resolved.
“I also got to see how people felt about me, especially people that were close to me,” he said, noting that at one point, his daughter Blue Ivy Carter donned a jersey with his name across the back and wore it to school.
“People can say that [they’ll always be there for you], but it’s very rare that you’re going to have to exercise it,” he added. “And in the darkest moment for me, I got to see those sorts of things.”
The lawsuit was one of a number of anonymous civil complaints filed by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee against Combs, who was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution and sentenced to more than four years in prison.
The suit, initially filed in October 2024, was amended in December that same year to include Carter.
Carter and his lawyer strongly denied the allegations outlined in the suit in both public statements and in court filings, accusing Buzbee, the woman’s lawyer, of conducting an “extortionate campaign” against him.
Combs’ legal representatives responded to the filing in a statement to ABC News at the time, calling Buzbee’s lawsuits “publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them.”
The plaintiff in the amended lawsuit voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice through her attorney in February 2025, according to a court filing.
Carter addressed the dismissal in a statement through his entertainment company Roc Nation at that time, calling it “a victory.” Combs’ legal team said in a statement that the dismissal was “confirmation that these lawsuits are built on falsehoods, not facts.”
Jay-Z subsequently filed a defamation suit against the woman in the withdrawn civil suit in March 2025, also naming her attorneys, Buzbee and David Fortney, and alleging they “were soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency.”
In response to the defamation suit, Buzbee shared a statement with ABC News that month, saying the case has “no legal merit” and was “just another attempt to intimidate and bully this poor woman.”
The defamation lawsuit is ongoing as of March 2026.
Speaking with GQ about his plans moving forward, Jay-Z said that the interviews were “the first thing I’m doing, actually.”
“It was just like, alright man, we played enough defense. 2026 is all offense.”
ABC News has reached out to Jay-Z’s representative for comment.

There was a mini Guns N’ Roses reunion in Los Angeles Monday night.
The band’s current and original members Slash and Duff McKagan reunited with original Guns drummer Steven Adler and former guitarist Gilby Clarke at the Rock For Jennifer Memorial Concert held at The Troubadour in Hollywood.
Fan-shot footage posted to YouTube shows the rockers teaming for a performance of the Guns N’ Roses track “It’s So Easy,” from their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, with Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe handling the vocals.
Adler was a member of Guns N’ Roses from their formation in 1985 until his firing in 1990 due to his drug addiction issues. Clarke joined the group in 1991 to replace original guitarist Izzy Stradlin, and performed with them until 1995.
According to Blabbermouth, the concert was in celebration of Jennifer Perry, the former house agent at the Troubadour, who died in February at the age of 67.
