Arnold, 46, shared the news in an Instagram
'Got some not-so-good news for you today,' he wrote. 'So I've 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 a clear cell renal [cell] carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And it's stage 4, and that's not real good.'
The singer was supported by many of his fellow musicians in the comment section.
'I hate to hear that,' wrote country star Jason Aldean. 'Praying for ya brother.'

According to the National Cancer Institute, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, also known as ccRCC, is the most common form of kidney cancer, accounting for about 80 percent of all cases.
The Cleveland Clinic reports that ccRCC is more prevalent in men than women and is typically diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70.
Symptoms may include bloody urine, fatigue, fever, weight loss, or a lump in the abdomen. In addition to undergoing surgery to remove the mass, treatment usually entails immunotherapy to ward off cancer cells or targeted therapy to stop them from growing.
Arnold said he is maintaining a positive outlook despite his diagnosis, sharing that his band's 2008 single 'It's Not My Time' has become his personal anthem.
'We serve a mighty God and He can overcome anything, so I have no fear,' the singer said. '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.'
The Mississippi native founded 3 Doors Down in 1996 with childhood friends Matt Roberts and Todd Harrell, releasing the debut album 'The Better Life' in 2000.
Harrell left the band in 2013 after being arrested for vehicular manslaughter. He was later sentenced to two years in prison. Roberts died in 2016 at the age of 38 from a prescription drug overdose.

Miley Cyrus Gets Salmon Sperm Facial & Her Experience Is Unexpected
It seems Miley Cyrus not only dropped her new album, 'Something Beautiful,' but also her beauty secret, crediting salmon sperm facial for her flawless skin. Like many other A-listers, including Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston, Cyrus also hopped on the trendy skincare treatment and recently shared a review. During a surprise performance in New York City, the singer revealed her bittersweet experience while responding to a fan's compliment. For Miley Cyrus, getting the perfect skin came at the cost of her taste buds, but she didn't seem to mind it that much. On Monday night, she performed at a surprise event at the Bemelmans Bar at NYC's The Carlyle Hotel and disclosed one key beauty secret during the show. After a fan in the crowd praised Cyrus' skin, saying it looked 'perfect,' she couldn't help but spill all the beans. 'Thank you, I tried that salmon sperm,' the Grammy winner promptly responded, leaving the crowd laughing uproariously. She then asked the fan if they had ever tried the buzzing skincare treatment before admitting that she had and revealed her thoughts on it. With a look of subtle disgust on her face, Cyrus disclosed that it tasted 'strange' but did wonders with her skin, making it look 'good.' Cyrus continued to share her salmon sperm facial experience with the fans who had joined her for the celebratory show for her new album. She explained that she 'didn't mean to drink it,' and that it was 'like a whole mask.' Regardless of having mixed feelings about the beauty treatment, the Disney Channel alum confirmed that the results were radiant. 'The rumors are true — salmon sperm is 100,' she told the audience. Cyrus had one final joke up her sleeve as she quipped about never meeting the salmon. 'It came pre-packaged,' she said, expressing a bit of doubt that she didn't know if it was what it said it was. 'But I do feel like my skin's looking good,' she concluded while the crowd cheered her on. The post Miley Cyrus Gets Salmon Sperm Facial & Her Experience Is Unexpected appeared first on Reality Tea.

New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday
New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have kept a low profile over the past several months. Fans assumed Swift was taking a much-deserved break after performing 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world. Ever since Super Bowl LIX, Kelce and 14-time Grammy have only been spotted in public a handful of times. While Kelce prepares for this 13th season in the NFL, however, Swift revealed that she was quietly working on getting back ownership of her master recordings from music released between 2006 to 2017. Swift broke five months of social media silence to announce on May 30: "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me." "And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work," Swift noted. Billboard reported she bought back ownership of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital, the firm that purchased them from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in late 2020, for approximately $360 million. Helping celebrate Swift's exciting news on Friday, Jack Antonoff, the singer's longtime friend and music producer, who co-wrote numerous songs featured on "Reputation." With the 2017 album back under Swift's ownership, Antonoff posted a video of Swift (and her cat, Meredith) singing along to "Getaway" on X. He captioned the post, "rep forever guilt free listening!" Because Swift never finished recording "Reputation: Taylor's Version," numerous fans felt guilty listening to the original album. One fan commented, "NEW TAYLOR FOOTAGE, JACK WE LOVE YOU." One Swifite wrote, "THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY 🥹." Another fan posted, "the concept of meredith witnessing swiftie independence day." One X user wrote, "AWWW SHES SO HAPPY." Following Friday's announcement, "Reputation" immediately shot to No. 1 the iTunes music story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
