Daughtry to replace 3 Doors Down on tour amid Brad Arnold's cancer treatment
The rock band shared the news in an Instagram post May 15.
"As many of you know, our friend Brad Arnold from Three Doors Down is currently facing a serious health challenge. First and foremost, our thoughts and full support are with Brad and his loved ones during this time," the band wrote in the post's caption.
"We've been asked to step in for Three Doors Down on the upcoming dates of the Creed Tour while Brad focuses on his health and healing," the band continued. "It's an honor to help carry the torch for a band and a frontman we respect so deeply. We'll do everything we can to bring energy, love, and gratitude to every stage just as Brad would."
Brad Arnold, the lead singer of rock band 3 Doors Down, previously announced on May 7 that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.
"Got some not so good news for you today," Arnold said at the time in a video shared to social media, as well as to the 3 Doors Down social media accounts. "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 carcinoma, that it metastasized into my lungs and it's Stage 4, and that's not real good."
According to the National Cancer Institute, clear cell renal carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. About 80% of all renal cell carcinoma cases are clear cell renal carcinoma, or ccRCC, which may also be referred to as conventional renal cell carcinoma.

People with clear cell renal carcinoma may experience no noticeable symptoms but may also exhibit symptoms such as a fever, pain, a lump in the side, tiredness, blood in the urine, or weight loss. This type of kidney cancer may run in families and is associated with individuals who have a genetic condition called Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and other hereditary conditions.
Treatments for clear cell renal carcinoma may include surgery like thermal ablation or cryosurgery, immunotherapy, radiation and targeted therapy.

Arnold, 46, said in his May 7 video that his recent diagnosis would impact 3 Doors Down, which had been scheduled to perform in the Summer of '99 Tour alongside fellow bands Nickelback, Creed, Vertical Horizon and more, starting in July.
"It is gonna force us to cancel our tour this summer, and we're sorry for that," Arnold said at the time.
"And I'd love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get, and uh, [I] say it's time for me to maybe go listen to ... 'Not My Time' a little bit, right? Thank you guys so much," he added, referencing the band's 2008 single from their eponymous album.
Arnold, along with Todd Harrell and the late Matt Roberts, is one of the founding members of 3 Doors Down, which formed in Mississippi in 1996.

Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil sparks health concerns with lackluster performance: ‘Breaks my heart'
Vince Neil is back on the stage — but his fans aren't impressed. Vince Neil is back on the stage — but his fans aren't impressed. The Mötley Crüe frontman, 64, who underwent a medical procedure earlier this year, has gone viral for his lackluster performance in Bethel, New York, last week. Neil appeared low-energy and struggled getting through the Aug. 3 show with his solo band. 13 Vince Neil performing in Bethel, New York on August 3.

Tara Adams/Instagram While singing Mötley Crüe's 1987 hit 'Girls, Girls, Girls,' Neil was seemingly continuing to read the lyrics off the teleprompter and wasn't focused on the audience. 'He even looks like he doesn't want to be there,' one fan wrote in the comments section of an Instagram video of Neil's performance. 'My god. He's reading the words from the stage,' another fan said. 13 Vince Neil returns to performing after undergoing a medical procedure.

LA Guns guitarist Tracii Guns also chimed in, writing, 'My heart breaks for him on so many levels.' The full footage of the 38-minute concert was uploaded on YouTube, where more fans expressed their uneasiness about Neil's behavior. 13 Vince Neil seen in Los Angeles in Oct. 2024.

'This is sad, out of being concerned for Vince. No need to kick somebody when they're down. This is not good,' another fan said.

The Post has reached out to Neil's rep for comment. The day after the Aug. 3 performance, Neil shared a picture with fellow musicians Stephen Pearcy and Bret Michaels, writing, 'Great to be back on stage rocking out the last three nights with my brothers Stephen Pearcy 'Ratt' and @bretmichaelsofficial !!

I haven't been on stage since almost a year now. I had a medical thing that happened to me, and they said I wouldn't be back on stage again.' 'I said, 'F–k that, man,'' Neil added. 'And I'm back, and I'm with you guys tonight. And I'm really proud to be here, man. Thank you so much.' Mötley Crüe — which is currently made up of Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 — delayed their Las Vegas residency earlier this year and canceled their show at the Boardwalk Rock Festival in April due to the frontman's health. In a statement in March, the band said that Neil was 'recuperating after a required medical procedure advised by the doctors.' 13 Vince Neil attends the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.

My health is my top priority so I can bring you the awesome shows you deserve, and I can't wait to return to the stage.' The band also didn't perform at the late Ozzy Osbourne's farewell show in July because of 'health issues.'

This homesick football player cried on air. It sparked a conversation about masculinity.
A post shared by Hail Varsity (@hailvarsity) A University of Nebraska freshman punter's first media appearance quickly went viral – not for what he said about football, but for an emotional moment about his life off the field. When asked about being away from home during the Aug. 12 press conference, 19-year-old Archie Wilson shared a candid response about how being far from his family has impacted him. "Yeah, that part's hard, I'm sorry," Wilson said before breaking down in tears and placing his head on the table. Wilson is from Frankston South in Victoria, Australia – making his family 15 hours ahead of his location in Lincoln, Nebraska. "I love them a lot. I got two little brothers, and my mom and dad. That's the tough part about being here. I love them a lot and I miss them." The heartwarming moment opened up a conversation around masculinity and emotion online. Mental health experts say it's crucial for young boys and men to understand the importance of showing emotion, which can contribute to building long-lasting relationships and overall mental wellness. Popular figures like athletes and celebrities help fill the space of role models at an age when boys are highly impressionable, according to Sheldon Jacobs, a licensed therapist who serves on the National Alliance on Mental Illness Board of Directors. "Any display of emotion, especially for men, it challenges the traditional stereotypes of masculinity, which often discourages men from, unfortunately, opening up and expressing their feelings," Sheldon says. Did you see? Men are going to brutal boot camps to reclaim their masculinity. How did we get here? The idea that 'boys don't cry' is outdated Wilson's moment hit sports accounts on X and Instagram, where viewers flooded the comment sections with support. "Today" co-host Jenna Bush Hager featured it on Aug. 13 as her "Morning Boost" segment, where she shared that she plans to show the clip to her 6-year-old son. Wilson, who never played an organized game of football, impressed the Huskers coach with his rugby background and strong kicks. He'll play his first game for Nebraska on Aug. 28 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. He shared during the press conference that his family is visiting Lincoln in September to watch him play his first home games of the season. Wilson's openness is part of a wider trend of male sports figures and celebrities opening up about emotion in recent years, according to Ronald Levant, a professor emeritus of psychology at The University of Akron and co-author of "The Problem with Men: Insights on Overcoming a Traumatic Childhood from a World-Renowned Psychologist." Last March, an emotional Jason Kelce made waves with his announcement that he was retiring following 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. In videos from the news conference, Kelce let his emotion show while his brother Travis Kelce, who stars in GQ Magazine's September issue, also wiped away tears. In April, Justin Bieber posted a series of photos on Instagram from a performance that included selfies with tears streaming down his face. And Baddy Bunny went viral after posting a teary-eyed video on TikTok over his song "DTMF" in appreciation of fans' response to his album. "It does give young men permission to say, 'It's OK not be OK. It's OK to struggle, you know, because I'm not alone in this,'" Jacobs says. In case you missed it: Jason Kelce's retirement tears hold an important lesson for men: It's OK to cry Gender norms around emotion are changing – and experts say that's a good thing. Levant said younger men are reacting against the strictures of traditional masculinity, the most notable of which is crying. "That's kind of the No. 1 rule. If you're a boy, you get punished for crying; you're told, 'Boys don't cry,'" Levant says. Still, young men are growing up during a male loneliness epidemic. In a 2021 survey by the Survey Center on American Life, only 1 in 5 men said they received emotional support from a friend within the past week, compared with 4 in 10 of women. And half as many men as women told a friend they loved them within the past week. Experts say being more open about emotion can contribute to solutions. "It's really, really impactful for young men," Jacobs says. "Historically, cultural norms have discouraged men… to show vulnerability, which perpetuates that stigma around mental health."Rachel Hale's role covering Youth Mental Health at USA TODAY is supported by a partnership with Pivotal and Journalism Funding Partners.
