New Order keyboardist Gillian Gilbert announces she is living with cancer
Gillian Gilbert, the keyboardist for New Order, announced on Instagram that she is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Clarification of previous reports
The musician posted a message to correct comments made by her husband Stephen Morris in an interview with Rolling Stone. Morris had previously stated he had a serious health problem that prevented him from leaving the country for long periods. Gilbert explained that his remarks were misinterpreted as meaning he was seriously ill rather than herself.
Request for privacy during treatment
Gilbert thanked fans for their kind words and well wishes following the announcement of her condition. She asked the public to respect her need for privacy while she continues with her medical treatment. The band has been together since forming out of Joy Division after the death of Ian Curtis.
