Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams issued a public statement on Sunday after her former husband, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, died. The announcement came via a tribute post on Williams’ social‑media accounts.
Williams said she delayed responding for several days because she “had not known what to say or if it’s appropriate” to comment on Gilbert’s passing, reflecting the sensitivity of the situation.
“I will forever be grateful.”
In her brief message, the singer expressed lasting gratitude toward Gilbert, acknowledging the impact he had on her life despite their separation.
Gilbert, a longtime member of the pop‑punk band New Found Glory, was married to Williams before the couple split. No further details about the circumstances of his death or additional remarks from either party have been released.
