New Order keyboardist Gillian Gilbert says she is the band member living with cancer, clarifying that comments attributed to her husband, Stephen Morris, were misunderstood. Gilbert states that Morris is well, and that she is currently dealing with the illness.
The outlets describe Gilbert’s clarification as a correction to earlier confusion about who is affected. NME reports she characterizes her condition as “seriously ill,” while noting Morris is in good health. Consequence similarly frames the update as Gilbert confirming she is battling cancer and that her earlier statement was meant to address misinterpretation of what Morris had said.
Both accounts attribute the confusion to public remarks that were read incorrectly, and both present Gilbert’s message as the source of the current, direct information. The reports do not provide additional medical details beyond her description of living with cancer and Morris being well.
