Greig Francis "Greg" Gilbert (7 December 1976 – 30 September 2021) was a British musician, singer, songwriter, visual artist and poet. He was best known as the lead singer and guitarist of indie band Delays. One of the band's defining characteristics was Gilbert's wide vocal range; the regular use of his upper register became Gilbert's trademark singing style. His vocals were often compared to those of Elizabeth Fraser[1][2] and Stevie Nicks.[3][4][5]
Gilbert was born in Southampton as the eldest of two children. His brother Aaron joined Delays in 2003 as their keyboard player and co-writer on many of the band’s tracks.
