Gillian Gilbert, the keyboardist for iconic band New Order, has revealed that she is "living with cancer". As reported by People, this comes days after fans flooded her and her husband, Stephen Morris, with well wishes after a misunderstanding led them to believe he was the one who was unwell.
In an interview with Rolling Stone on September 8, Morris talked about a vague health issue. "I've got a bit of a health problem at the minute," the New Order drummer said. "...which precludes leaving the country for any length of time."
"I really don't want to dwell on what this illness is, but it's pretty serious. It's not something that someone's going to come up with a cure for."

A misunderstanding originally arose during an interview, which made fans believe that it was her husband who was ill.
The Pair Will Not Tour With New Order
This comes months after the pair announced they had halted touring obligations. In a statement in June, they explained, "Due to personal health reasons, Stephen and Gillian won't be touring for the foreseeable future and will not be joining for this show."
They added, "Bernard, Phil and Tom are really sorry that Stephen and Gillian can't join us this time, but unfortunately the circumstances make it impossible".
We wish the keyboardist well in her treatment. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her loved ones.
