Three Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer.
The musician took to Instagram on Wednesday to inform fans about “some not-so-good news” in a video, adding,
“I’ve been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out.” That's when he “got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And that’s stage 4, and that’s not real good.”
Nonetheless, the Kryptonite singer noted he has “no fear” about tackling treatment as he falls back on his faith:
“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, but it is going to force us to cancel our tour this summer and we’re sorry for that,” he said. “And I’d love it if you lift me up in prayer every chance you get. And Ithink it is time for me to go listen to ‘It’s Not My Time’ a little bit, right?”
Brad Arnold has a net worth of $1 million, Celebrity Net Worth states. He is most known for serving as the founding member, lead vocalist, and drummer of 3 Doors Down, which was formed in 1996 in Escatawpa, Mississippi.
The group, comprised of members Brad Arnold, Chris Henderson, Greg Upchurch, Chet Roberts, and Justin Biltonen, is known for its hits like Kryptonite, When I'm Gone, and Here Without You.
