Rock Star Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down reveal Cancer Diagnosis, Halting Summer Tour

Singer from 3 Doors Down diagnosed with terminal cancer, resulting in tour cancellation. - Lead singer of 3 Doors Down terminates the scheduled tour.

Blimey, let's get this straight - 3 Doors Down, American bloke-rock band, has bloody well cancelled their bloody summer tour across the States. Why you ask? Their frontman and drummer, Brad Arnold (bloke in his mid-40s), got a serious dose of bad news: he's got cancer, at stage 4 no less, and it's spread to his lungs.

The man himself shared the heartbreaking news through an Insta video. He'd been feeling under the weather a couple of weeks back, so he popped himself off to the doc. Turns out he's got himself a case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Cheery, ain't it?

The Rise of 3 Doors Down

Arnold, along with a band of merry men, founded this bunch of lads in Mississippi in the '90s. They blew up internationally with their debut single "Kryptonite" (2000), and bagged the American Music Award for new artists in 2001. Back in Blighty, they gained fame through their single "Here Without You." Their discography includes anthems like "When I'm Gone," "Let Me Go," and "It's Not My Time."
