The rock band 3 Doors Down has had to cancel their upcoming summer 2025 tour for a heartbreaking reason — their lead singer, Brad Arnold, has stage 4 cancer.
The singer made the announcement on Wednesday, May 7, via the band's various social media accounts.
"Hey everybody, it's Brad from 3 Doors Down. I hope you're having a great day today. Um, got some not-so-good news for you today. I'd been sick a couple of weeks ago and went to the hospital and got checked out and actually got the diagnosis that I have clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung and uh, that's stage 4 and that's not real good," said the singer in the YouTube video.
But he trusts in God's plan, and he says that he's not scared of what he's facing with this diagnosis.
"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. We're sorry for that," said Arnold, adding, "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 'Not My Time' a little bit. Thank you guys so much, God loves ya, we love ya. See ya.
On the video, Arnold also wrote a message in the caption, "Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe 'IT'S 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! Brad."
"It's Not My Time" is a single off the band's 2008 self-titled album, which was the group's fourth studio album. It hit No. 1 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. In an interview with SongFacts, Arnold said that it was originally written for the Poseidon Adventure remake, and that the song is about "never giving up."
"'It's Not My Time' is a song about being resilient," said Arnold. "It's a song about going against the grain and going against the world when the world's trying to push you down, or take you out. It's about never giving up and not letting it get you down, and just going through it."
According to the Cleveland Clinic, clear cell renal carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer. It affects men twice as much as it does women. It also "tends to be more aggressive and spreads faster" than other types of kidney cancers. Once it has metastasized and spread, it is "more difficult to treat." If the cancer has spread, the five-year survival rate for patients is about 10 percent.

People Are Calling Out Popular Internet Trends That Need To Stop ASAP, And Yikes
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the popular internet trends that need to stop because they're actually toxic — and of course, they didn't hold back. Here are the eye-opening results: 1."Any health trend started on or perpetuated by TikTok, Instagram, and the like. And a 'nutritionist' is not the same as a dietician. Dieticians are medically trained and regulated." —funnylittlemanat 2."Anything on CleanTok. People who were never taught to clean are being taken advantage of by people who were also never taught to clean and just mix everything because 'ooh, pretty colors' gets all the views. Someone is going to f---ing mustard gas themselves, either making one of these videos or following the video. Stop. Mixing. Chemicals." —lobster_lemon_lime 3."Cleaning 'experts' sprinkling baking soda on everything and vacuuming it up! Stop that! You're destroying the motor in your vacuum! Baking soda has superfine particles that even the best filters can't handle and cause serious wear and tear on the vacuum motor. Not to mention, you'll NEVER get it all up, only adding to the dust and debris in your air. Want to clean fabric, upholstery, and mattress? Use an appropriate liquid spray designed for that purpose and stop punishing your vacuum!" —Anonymous, 44, Colorado 4."Filming yourself working out at the gym. People in the background don't want to be recorded. They didn't give consent, and it's violating their privacy. If you are going to film yourself, do it at home or in a private gym area with NO ONE in the background. I would be so embarrassed if I saw someone filming themselves, and I'm in the background." —Anonymous, 32, California 5."Skincare and tanning. Forcing young girls to be overly self-conscious about their very normal functions, such as pimples and aging, just makes me sick. And tanning just leads to sunburn 9 times out of 10." —Anonymous, Massachusetts 6."Prank channels! Not even touching on the family ones that can cause trauma to the children's social lives and mental health, but some people don't realize they are staged, thinking they can replicate them. Whether it's public pranks on strangers or at home, the person being pranked can respond unpredictably, harming themselves or others. Just not worth it." —Anonymous, 31, Texas Related: 13 Tweets From Women This Week That Made Me Laugh So Hard I Might Need Medical Attention 7."These huge hauls! I would see boxes on boxes, and they aren't from PRs! I remember watching one influencer buy 30 bikinis for a 'summer haul,' and not only that, I would see huge bags of stuff, and the caption might say 'mini haul.' This pressures people to spend a whole lot of money to live off this 'lifestyle.'" —2stepsahead 8."Definitely the shopping hauls AND everything being an ad — whether or not it's even announced. I often watch what my 9-year-old daughter wants to on YouTube, and we have in-depth discussions about how this video or that one is an ad. We also talk about consumerism and how, unfortunately, for her YouTube-loving self, she has a momma who isn't into all that!" —Anonymous, 42, Montana 9."Rage-bait videos for clicks — especially ones that involve 'cooking.' I hate when people make videos with the intent of pissing people off just to increase engagement on their posts. It's extra infuriating when they waste a ton of food in the interest of getting people to comment on their 'techniques.' Such a waste." —Anonymous, 40, Pennsylvania Related: "Something's Killed Me. Please, Someone Tell My Parents": 19 Terrifying Stories From People Who Lived In Haunted Houses That Are Gonna Give Me Serious Nightmares 10."Filming strangers without their consent. I see TikTok videos of people filming strangers and romanticising it. People are just going about their day, waiting at the bus stop, sitting in the park, having coffee with a friend, or even CHILDREN — but some weirdo is filming them from a distance. I would hate if I opened TikTok and saw a video of me just walking down the street. I'd be like???? It's not aesthetic and cute; it's creepy and giving stalker." —Anonymous, 26, Australia "Don't film or photograph people in public just trying to live their life. Last year at the train station, I committed the unspeakable crime of eating Doritos on the platform while I waited, and I realized a pack of 11-year-old girls were filming me and laughing. Like, WTF? OK, so I may not be particularly cute or stylish, maybe I'm a bit chunky and didn't necessarily need the Doritos, but I'm just sitting over here minding my business. Now, I am super self-conscious when I go out without my husband: Are my roots too gray? Does this top fit weird? I should wait until I get home to have a snack. And even if it's not happening to me, I hate seeing it happen to others. Like that jerk who posted a woman in the locker room because the locker room to change her clothes? Or someone posting another person's pic when they are doing their Tesco shopping because they are wearing something unusual. The whole trend drives me mad." —Anonymous, 43, England 11."Stupid TikTok 'challenges' that disrupt schools. Half of them are flat-out encouraging crime. Destroy the bathroom? That's destruction of property. Punch a teacher? Assault. Chromebook? Destruction of property, possibly arson, and willful endangerment. I'm trying to teach, not be the potty police, a punching bag, or a firefighter." —Anonymous, 30s, Ohio 12."Family vlogging channels. You're putting kids under the pressure of the internet when they're too young to choose otherwise. It turns the parent-child dynamic into a transactional one, where the inner lives of these children are exposed for clout, and parents are rewarded for using their kids. I can't imagine how those kids would feel once grown, but it can't be good." —Anonymous, 21, Washington 13."Filming yourself ALL THE TIME! I'm tired of all the 'vlogs' on social media. I don't need to watch someone's day in a life or 'get ready with me.' What is the purpose of filming yourself all day and posting everything on social media? No one is that interested. Bye!" —Anonymous 14."Developing disturbingly strong parasocial relationships that are filling the space in your heart where actual, personal relationships used to go. We're connecting to the wrong people." —putzik47 15."Filming yourself crying. Why do you want to have evidence of yourself ugly-crying? Then posting the videos feels like fishing for attention, and it's obnoxious." —Anonymous, 27, Idaho 16."AI meme videos. They keep causing more brain rot and even shorter attention spans. Technology has fried our brains, and we all need a cleanse from this type of content online. It's caused us to be less social as a whole. Sure, there's convenience, but what else is this doing to benefit humanity? I don't think a low-quality image of a shark with Nike shoes saying random Italian words is doing much for society now, is it?" —Anonymous, 17, Florida And finally... 17."Couple vlogging. Especially if you're relying on profiting off it; if things go south, you either stay with a toxic partner or risk losing your income. Also, the oversharing is uncomfortable to me, and the whole thing feels performative and strange. But ultimately, to each their own." —Anonymous Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity. Yikes. Well, do you agree with these?

Costco's NEW Backyard "Water Park" Is Cheaper Than Summer Camp—But Just as Fun
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." When a summer heatwave rolls in, we'll do anything to stay cool, whether that's hunkering down indoors and blasting the A/C, jumping into the pool, or lounging lazily on a float in the lake. There are plenty of outdoor activities to keep you entertained and cool this summer, but if you're looking for one more idea that the whole family can enjoy, we suggest adding Costco's Fort Soakington Inflatable Mega Water Park to your cart.$288.96 at What is a "Fort Soakington," you may ask? Well, it's basically a giant inflatable playground that you can set up anywhere outdoors, near a water source. Measuring 14.86 ft. x 20.11 ft. x 8.33 ft, the mega water park is easy to assemble (no tools required!) and inflates in just two minutes. Once the bouncy playground is up and running, you'll be greeted with two look-out towers that lead into a slide, a climbing wall, and two "point n' spray" water blasters. The water park is meant for kids, but we can see the parents and even grandparents getting in on the fun. Reviews for this product are positive, with happy customers dubbing it one of the hottest finds for summer. "We've had this for a few weeks now and have hosted two or three parties, and it's been a big hit," one reviewer wrote. "Quality is high. Setup is pretty straightforward, take down is also straightforward but takes a bit more time to get it rinsed off and dried, but I think with good care, this should last a few summers. It was an impulsive purchase, but I couldn't be happier." Another reviewer said, "This was so fun, my grandkids loved it... It's professionally built and very sturdy. The ground stakes are plastic, and one of them broke,e so I'll need to replace it or upgrade to metal stakes." At $700, we know the price might sound steep, but compare this to what you would spend at your local waterpark (don't forget the money you'll shell out for snacks and beverages and possibly car fees/tolls), and you'll quickly realize the Costco inflatable is actually the cheaper alternative. That said, if you need a few more budget-friendly alternatives, we found several on Amazon. Bonus: They'll ship to you via Prime in just two days flat.$299.99 at at at at at at Follow on Instagram and TikTok.
