Paramore singer Hayley Williams has spoken publicly following the death of her former husband, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, three days after his death at 45. Williams said she had initially been unsure whether it was appropriate to comment before deciding to reflect on his influence on the music scene they shared.
Gilbert died on Sunday, 20 September, following a prolonged battle with cancer. His death was announced by New Found Glory and his wife, Lisa Cimorelli, who said he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family and friends, with Cimorelli and his mother by his side.
