Daughtry to replace 3 Doors Down on tour amid Brad Arnold's cancer treatment
Daughtry is taking over for 3 Doors Down on tour this summer.
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.

Advertize.io Built the Most Powerful Viral Distribution Engine on Instagram — Now Select Agencies Are Getting Access to the Keys
Used by global fashion brands, royal families, newsrooms, and world leaders, is now extending access to a select tier of operators – inviting them to gain access to the same narrative machine it has quietly run behind the curtain for years. For close to a decade, if a brand seemed to rise from obscurity to dominance seemingly overnight – a product launch that felt everywhere at once, a 'grassroots' wave that just happened to hit every Instagram feed, or a campaign that lit up on social media – chances are, had a hand in it. Co-founded by Omar Choudhury, the agency built its name not on splashy awards or public case studies, but on a rare ability to engineer cultural moments with surgical timing. It was the call tech founders made before funding rounds. The secret weapon used by teams navigating acquisitions. And now – for the first time – it's opening access to a highly curated group of external partners. The move marks a shift not only for the agency, but for how cultural narrative is scaled in today's internet economy. 'There's a layer of media that happens before anyone sees the headline,' Choudhury explains. 'If you can shape what the internet thinks it discovered, you've already won. That's how elections are won in todays day and age.' isn't a talent marketplace or influencer agency. It's a distribution intelligence company – built to choreograph attention across Instagram using a privately assembled ecosystem of meme pages, creator collectives, viral publishers, and anonymous cultural hubs. The core engine: a network spanning over 4.2 billion followers, curated and stress-tested through years of backchannel campaigns. Unlike ad platforms or PR, this network doesn't broadcast – it pulses, placing narrative cues where they feel native, not just paid. Clients don't come for just impressions. They come for perception shifts around their entire brand: funding round momentum, brand revivals, cultural legitimacy in new markets, or global dominance. For years, access to this system required a personal relationship and budgets often well into seven figures. That's now changing. Through its new agency program, is giving approved partners direct use of the same backend tools that previously powered launches from behind the scenes. That includes full access to its 4.2 billion – strong Instagram distribution network, expanding daily, as well as broader ecosystem placements across short-form platforms and viral content mediums. More critically, partners gain insight into the strategic scaffolding that makes distribution land: Narrative sequencing calibrated for pre- and post-launch positioning. Conversion-optimized content frameworks based on hundreds of live tests. Timing systems designed to plant and scale perception across cycles. These aren't plug-and-play templates. They're the internal systems used to influence what people see, when they see it, and how they react when it shows up again. 'We don't just give Clients more reach – we give them more precision and goal orientated achievement,' said Choudhury. 'If you already know what story to tell, we show you exactly where, when and how to place it.' As media grows noisier and consumer trust erodes, isn't offering another ad product – it's building a new lane altogether. One that sits between PR, paid media, and influencer marketing: cultural narrative deployment. It's not about virality for vanity. It's about orchestrating relevance at the highest-leverage moment—before announcements, during launches, and when perception truly matters. The firm's internal platform, already used to brief and deploy campaigns in stealth, will eventually roll out in a more structured form. But for now, access is strictly invite-only, tailored for agencies managing significant media budgets or high value client rosters. Those who make the cut won't just join a platform. They'll tap into an operating system already used to move markets. In a space flooded with noise, the power isn't just in being seen – it's in being seen by the right people, in the right way, before anyone realizes why. And for the first time, will allow others in.

Earps has called time on her career with the Lionesses after being replaced as number one goalkeeper.
