Rock Singer Announces Cancer Diagnosis, Band Cancels Tour
Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, announced Wednesday that he was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.
“I’ve got some not-so-good news for you today,” Arnold said in a video posted to social media.
“So I’d been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out and had actually got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And it’s Stage 4, and that’s not real good,” he explained.
“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,” he continued.
“Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe ‘ITS NOT MY TIME’ is really my song. This’ll be a battle so we need our prayers warriors! Thank y’all for being the best fans in the world. We love y’all!” the band wrote.

From the New York Post:
3 Doors Down was ultimately forced to cancel their upcoming tour, which was set to kick off in Daytona Beach, Fla., on May 15, in light of Arnold’s Stage 4 kidney cancer diagnosis.
“But it is gonna force us to cancel our tour this summer,” he announced. “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.”

Fox News reports:
The band 3 Doors Down formed in the mid-1990s and, along with Arnold, includes Chet Roberts, Justin Biltonen, Chris Henderson and Greg Upchurch.
Original member Matt Roberts died in 2016 of an overdose.
Arnold wrote one of the band’s biggest hits, 2000’s “Kryptonite,” when he was still in high school, according to TMZ.
He is the only founding member of the group still in the band.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer, and it affects twice as many men as women, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
It can develop for no reason, but smoking, being overweight, high blood pressure and kidney disease can be contributing factors, per the outlet.
