Sad news.

Greg Gilbert, frontman of indie rock band Delays, has died of bowel cancer.

His brother Aaron, who plays keyboards in the group, announced the news on Twitter in a lengthy tribute.

Gilbert was diagnosed in 2016 and documented his illness and treatment on social media through poetry and art.

In August, he told his followers he had stopped treatment and was receiving only pain relief at a hospice.

Formed in Southampton in 2001 and originally called Corky, Delays have released four albums to date including their well-received debut Faded Seaside Glamour.

Gilbert’s falsetto vocals was singled out by critics and became a defining feature of the band’s expansive guitar-heavy sound, which was influenced by The La’s, Cocteau Twins and Manic Street Preachers.

As it’s said above, Greg Gilbert’s cancer lasted for about five years, hospitalized for a long time, being referred to as “angel” by hospital staff who were treating him at a Southampton hospice.

The successful artist said to his fans that revealing he was now only on pain management was something he never thought he’d have to write.

He is survived by his wife Stacey Heale and two daughters, Dali and Bay.

Rest in peace, Greg.
