3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold has announced he is battling stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a form of kidney cancer. In a video message shared on Wednesday (7), Arnold addressed the diagnosis, stating,
“Hey, everybody, it’s Brad from 3 Doors Down. I hope you’re having a great day today. I’ve got some not-so-good news for you today. So I’d been sick a couple of weeks ago, and then went to the hospital and got checked out and had actually gotten the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And it’s stage four, and that’s not real good. But you know what? We serve a mighty God, and he can overcome anything. So I have no fear. I really, sincerely am not scared of it at all. But it is gonna force us to cancel our tour this summer. And we’re sorry for that. And I’d love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get. And I think it is time for me to maybe go listen to “It’s Not My Time” a little bit. Thank you, guys, so much. God loves you. We love you. See you.”
As a result, the band has canceled all upcoming performances, including headlining shows, festival appearances, their tour with Creed, and a slot at Morgan Wallen’s Sand In My Boots festival.
