One of my favorite bands. Brad is one of the all-time good guys in the music industry. This one hurts. Hopefully he can beat this.

frick cancer.

quote:

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, says he has been diagnosed with a form of kidney cancer.

Arnold shared the news in a video posted to his Instagram page Wednesday, saying he was diagnosed with stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

He added that the cancer had metastasized into his lung.

That’s not real good,” he said, adding that he has “no fear” and “sincerely am not scared of it at all.”

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Arnold said because of his diagnosis, the band is canceling their upcoming tour.

3 Doors Down was set to embark on a tour starting on May 15 in Daytona Beach. All dates have since been removed from the band’s official website, with a video of Arnold’s announcement in its place.

Arnold asked his followers and listeners to “lift me up in prayer every chance you get” and joked that he should go listen to their 2008 song “It’s Not My Time.”

Creed singer Scott Stapp was among those who gave their support to Arnold in the comments section of his post.

“If anyone has the FAITH and STRENGTH to face this fight, it’s YOU brother,” Stapp wrote. “I think I can speak for all of us, we are lifting you up in prayer right now believing without doubt for your total healing!”

I’ll hold off on making a pun with one of their song as this is sad news for me.

I can assume with this news that he doesn’t have a whole lot of time left. He’s only in his mid 40s. frick cancer

No.one will look down on you. They shouldn't anyway

Oh boy, I have 3-4 to choose from depending on which way I go with it

My optimistic pun is “It’s not Brad’s time.”

I’ll find the door

I was thinking of "Love Me When I'm Gone."

But that'll suffice.

That was definitely another route I was thinking where I could have gone.

I just don't get it, surely he's had blood work done during that time to where they could pick up on it.

Assuming it is a RCC no screening blood test will pick up on that

Only screening imaging would but only rich people do random screening imaging.

Not many Mississippi rock bands. He’s represented the state well. Hope he can beat it.

Saw them open for Creed in OKC last year. Was more like a church service but they still sounded phenomenal.
Hoping modern medicine and cancer treatments can help him beat it.
