New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert reveals new tumor diagnosis

As some of you might recall, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert revealed a particularly scary health diagnosis late last year, specifically, a rare type of adrenal gland tumor called pheochromocytoma. It was a pretty harrowing journey; more on that here. The band were back out on the road hard and heavy throughout the course of this summer for the Sticks & Stones 20th anniversary tour. As tour went on, Gilbert started experiencing back pain. Well, he can tell you the rest (per his Instagram): Dear friends!Was having really intense bad back pain on tour (which can happen from jumping around carrying a heavy guitar). I flew home early for an MRI. Unfortunately we found a new Pheochromocytoma tumor in the 12th vertebrae of my spine pinching on my nerve bad. I’ll be headed into surgery...
