Punk rock outfit New Found Glory’s guitarist, Chad Gilbert, performed on stage for the first time after undergoing emergency brain cancer surgery in February.

Gilbert joined his bandmates at Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater on Monday (June 15). While he was using a wheelchair to maneuver his way around the stage, he still whipped out his Fender Tele Deluxe and made his grand return after months of treatment.
