Chad Gilbert Blogs About Last Night’s Incident

In case you’ve missed all the buzz, Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory was electrocuted last night by a faulty mic while the band was recording their set for a live DVD. He was released from the hospital earlier today so naturally he quickly went online to let fans know what happened. You can read what he had to say by taking a look below the jump. All I can say is that I’m glad to hear he’s doing alright!

The band still plans on finishing up the recording for their live DVD, they will be playing at The Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California tonight. Be sure to buy tickets for their other upcoming tours if you haven’t had the chance yet!

Last nights incident!

While recording the NFG live album at the chain reaction last night I was shocked by the microphone. In between songs I grabbed the mic to speak and when I did it felt like I couldn’t let go. I was being shocked and it froze me in place and when I was able to release my hands off of the mic I collapsed. When I came to I had friends standing over me and it felt like I was asleep in one of those Sci Fi movies when they wake up after traveling for 3 years to fight an alien. My friends escorted me off the stage. I told the band to finish the set for the sake of the audio recording. At that point I still was in a daze. The ambulance came and picked me up and drove me to the nearest Emergency Room. After getting numerous tests off and on for about 12 hours from the friendly people at UC Irvine I was released. They checked my heart for most of that time to make sure the electrical current didn’t make my heart beat irregularly. Everything came back positive.
I am gonna play the show tonight but this time with a wireless to settle my paranoia of this happening again because man it hurt and sucked.

Thanks to all my friends and fans around the globe for the sweet messages!

Chad
