Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated rock band 3 Doors Down, has asked his fans for prayers after revealing that he was diagnosed with stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. 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.' 'If anyone has the faith and strength to face this fight, it's you brother,' added Creed frontman Scott Stapp. Related Stories 4/8/2025 4/25/2025 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.

Singer From 2000s Rock Band Reveals Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis, Tour Canceled
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, has been diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer, prompting the cancellation of the band's upcoming U.S. summer tour. The 46-year-old front man revealed the diagnosis in a video posted to social media on Wednesday, telling fans that the cancer had metastasized to his lungs. "It's Stage IV, and that's not real good," Arnold said in the video. "But, 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." Arnold said he had been feeling unwell for several weeks before doctors diagnosed him with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, when this type of cancer spreads to other organs, treatment becomes more difficult and the five-year survival rate drops to around 10 percent. 3 Doors Down singer Brad Arnold is seen on stage in Munich, Germany, on 24 October, 2016. 3 Doors Down singer Brad Arnold is seen on stage in Munich, Germany, on 24 October, 2016. Jens Niering/Picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images The band's planned tour, which was scheduled to begin May 15 in Daytona Beach, Florida, included several co-headlining dates with Creed. All upcoming performances have been removed from the band's website and replaced with Arnold's video message. Arnold said that 3 Doors Down's 2008 hit "It's Not My Time" has taken on a new, personal significance. He also asked fans to "lift me up in prayer every chance you get." Arnold, the last remaining founding member of 3 Doors Down, co-founded the band in Escatawpa, Mississippi in 1996. They achieved early success with the hit single "Kryptonite," which he wrote in high school. The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped launch the band's debut album, The Better Life, which went on to sell over six million copies. The band's subsequent albums, including Away From the Sun and Seventeen Days, solidified their status as rock radio mainstays. Over the years, the group has undergone several lineup changes. Founding guitarist Matt Roberts left in 2012 and died of a prescription drug overdose in 2016. Bassist Todd Harrell was dismissed after being convicted of vehicular homicide in 2013. Arnold struggled with alcohol addiction but credited his Christian faith with supporting his sobriety since 2016. "Without question, God took that burden from me," he previously told The Guardian regarding his sobriety. "I was so tired of carrying it. I couldn't carry it anymore so I gave it to God and I'm not taking it back." Support for Arnold poured in online, with Creed front man Scott Stapp writing on Instagram: "If anyone has the FAITH and STRENGTH to face this fight, it's YOU brother." Singer Gavin DeGraw added: "May God bless you brother. Showing us how to conquer the darkness with light." Arnold did not provide additional details about treatment plans but said he is surrounded by support and remains hopeful.
