Singer, whose band reached UK Top 20 with debut 2004 album, had documented illness due to bowel cancer in visual art and poetry
Greg Gilbert, frontman with British indie rock band Delays, has died of bowel cancer at the age of 44.
He had been diagnosed in 2016, and documented his illness in poetry, visual art and on social media. In August, he announced he had stopped taking treatment and was using only pain relief. He wrote on Twitter: “I still believe in magic, the power of a good gesture and laughter. I want to fill the days ahead with all of these and so much more.”
