Rockin' Through a Tough Beat: Brad Arnold, Lead Singer of 3 Doors Down, Battles Cancer, Putting Tour on Hold
Singer of 3 Doors Down Diagnosed with Terminal Cancer, Leading to Tour Cancellation - Singer from 3 Doors Down halts scheduled tour.
Let's face it, folks, life's a rollercoaster, and it ain't always smooth sailing. Take Brad Arnold, the frontman of the badass rock band, 3 Doors Down. The cat's outta the bag—he's fightin' a tough battle against cancer. As a result, the band's highly-anticipated summer tour across the US has sadly been scrapped.
In a heartfelt video posted on Insta, the man himself, age 46, spilled the beans about his recent health woes. Seems like a few weeks back, he took ill—took him to the doctors, and lo and behold, they found out he's got stage 4 kidney cancer. The bugger's even managed to make a home in his lungs.
3 Doors Down: A Rising Star in the Rock Scene
Arnold formed this kick-ass band back in the mid-90s in good ol' Mississippi alongside a sick crew of musicians. They blew up on the international scene with their debut single "Kryptonite" (2000), and won the American Music Award for Best New Artist in 2001. The German crowd went wild for their single "Here Without You." Other bangers in their repertoire include "When I'm Gone," "Let Me Go," and "It's Not My Time."
