Three Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold has revealed he's been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer.
The musician took to his Instagram on Wednesday to share 'some not so good news' in a video, adding, 'I've been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out.'

That's when Arnold 'got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And that's stage 4, and that's not real good.'
Despite the diagnosis, the 'Kryptonite' singer said he has 'no fear' going into treatment as he turns to his faith. '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 going to force us to cancel our tour this summer and we're sorry for that,' he said. 'And I'd love it if you lift me up in prayer every chance you get.'
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, making up about 80 percent of all renal cell carcinoma cases, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Arnold also added in the post's caption, '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! Brad.'
In addition to Arnold, the rock band 3 Doors Down is currently comprised of members Chris Henderson, Greg Upchurch, Chet Roberts and Justin Biltonen. The group is most known for their songs 'Kryptonite,' 'When I'm Gone,' 'Here Without You,' 'Let Me Go' and 'It's Not My Time,' the latter of which the lead singer references in the Instagram video.

NBA's first openly gay player Jason Collins gets married to longtime partner
Former Nets player, and the first openly gay athlete in the NBA, Jason Collins married his longtime partner, Brunson Green, recently. The couple reportedly tied the knot over the Memorial Day weekend in a ceremony in Austin, Texas, after the two had been together for more than a decade. Collins and Green, a Hollywood producer best known for his work on the film 'The Help,' reportedly got engaged in 2023 during Pride Night at a Lakers game. Advertisement 4 Former Nets player, and the first openly gay athlete in the NBA, Jason Collins, married his longtime partner, Brunson Green. Octavia Spencer/Instagram Collins came out in a personal essay for Sports Illustrated in 2013, which made him the first openly gay athlete in a major American team sport. 'When I was younger, I dated women,' he wrote in the essay. 'I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue.' 4 Jason Collins is pictured during a 2014 game for the Nets. AP Advertisement He had started his NBA career in 2001 with the Nets, who were still in New Jersey at the time, where he spent parts of seven seasons with the organization before stints with the Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Hawks and Celtics. Collins returned to the Nets in 2014 for one final run in Brooklyn before retiring that same year. Collins started dating Green in 2014 and described how the two met in a Sports Illustrated interview in 2023, according to The Independent.

'Brunson left for Europe the following day, and, while he was overseas, I asked everyone I knew in LA, 'Have you heard of this guy?'' The ceremony was attended by family and friends, including longtime teammate Richard Jefferson, according to Outsports. 4 Jason Collins and Brunson Green at Apple's 'Visible: Out on Television' screening at The West Hollywood EDITION.

New McDonald's sauces bring the heat more than ever
"Hot Ones"is a phenomenon that no one saw coming. The premise is, honestly, weird. If you're not familiar, the laid-back host, Sean Evans, sits down with celebrities and, over a plate of 10 chicken wings doused with progressively hotter sauces, asks them a series of thoughtful questions. The celebrities are distracted and sometimes distraught by the spicy food, which can result in unexpectedly intimate conversations, as well as some outright hilarity. "Hot Ones" launched on YouTube in 2015, and in the 25 seasons and 350 episodes since, Evans has interviewed some of the most A+ of the A-listers you can think of, and has made many of them cry. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The likes of Tom Holland, Shaq, Jennifer Lawrence, and Margo Robbie have run the "Hot Ones" gauntlet. "'Hot Ones' - a breakthrough pop-culture phenomenon in which stars eat 10 progressively fiery wings (or, increasingly, a vegan substitute) while being asked 10 deeply researched questions - has built itself into an online pillar, holding steady amid the shifting tides of digital media," says The New York Times. Related: Pepsi makes major change that will anger some customers The show has nearly 15 million subscribers and more than 4 billion views on YouTube, plus millions of additional followers on Instagram and TikTok. No wonder McDonald's wants in on the action. McDonald's recently launched three "Hot Ones" sauces, but here's the bad news: the sauce collab is only happening in France. At least for now. McDonald's France offers: Hell Piñata: A smoky chipotle-infused mayonnaise with a mild kick, registering at a relatively mild 10,000 Scoville units. Thaï Toi: A sweet and sour blend featuring ginger and lemongrass, packing a punch at 70,000 Scoville units. Embrase-moi: A bold BBQ sauce infused with habanero peppers, reaching a gut-churning 200,000 Scoville units. Related: Trader Joe's sells out of TikTok famous treat (here's when it's back) The sauces are available with Chicken McNuggets and Veggie McPlant Nuggets in 6, 9, or 20 pieces, either à la carte or as part of a meal (excluding Happy Meals). The "Hot Ones" launch is part of a campaign featuring French rapper Naza, who takes on the spicy challenge under the guidance of host Kyan Khojandi. The McDonald's-"Hot Ones" spicy collab is only available in France for the time being, but American fans are salivating at the thought of a stateside release. Smuggling them from France even seems to be a thing. @noahsanchezofficial said, "I tried these! I took them on the plane back to Cali too lol, still have them" and @lakers209 said, "I brought back a 12 sets from my trip to France last year. They are all a lot hotter than you would expect."

For now, spicy-food lovers can indulge in this funky fusion of fast food and fiery flavors, leaving the rest of us to hope it comes ashore here soon.
