3 Doors Down has been forced to cancel their latest tour after the band’s lead singer Brad Arnold today announced on social media he is battling stage 4 cancer. Arnold, 46, announced he has been diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma a common form of kidney cancer. Hey everybody, “I’ve got some not-so-good news for you today,” Arnold said. “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.” Arnold also shared that his health ordeal has forced 3 Doors Down to cancel its upcoming Summer of ’99 Tour. Despite the severe diagnosis, the singer shared an optimistic outlook on his recovery, citing his religious faith.
“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,” Arnold concluded.
“I’d love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get. And I think it’s 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 ya.” We wish nothing but the best for Brad on his journey in beating the cancer. You can watch the Instagram clip here.
