Chad Gilbert will be taking a break from New Found Glory’s current US tour while he recovers from surgery for suspected cancer of the thyroid.According to news reports, doctors discovered a potentially cancerous lump on the New Found Glory guitarist’s throat three weeks ago after he went in for treatment for suspected pneumonia.As a precaution, he underwent surgery this past Tuesday (January 26) and doctors removed his thyroid gland. Thankfully they didn’t discover any cancerous cells. "They removed half my thyroid but no cancer," Gilbert said in Twitter post. “Thanks for the prayers love you!”His girlfriend, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams, added: “Wanted to say to all our fans, friends, and family - thank you so much for all the love and support you've shown for Chad. Let's never take what we have for granted. One life, one chance!”
