Brad Arnold, best known for his work as the vocalist of 3 Doors Down, disclosed on May 7th that he’s been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. In an Instagram video, Arnold explained that medical professionals discovered he has clear cell renal carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer that has metastasized to his lungs.

Arnold shared, “I was ill a few weeks back, then I went to the hospital for examination where they diagnosed me with advanced-stage clear cell renal carcinoma that had spread to my lung. In medical terms, this is known as stage 4, which isn’t great news.

Regardless of his critical situation, Arnold maintains a sense of optimism rooted in his belief. He asserted, “Our God is powerful, and there’s nothing he can’t conquer.” Therefore, he expressed no fear. In fact, he genuinely isn’t anxious about it at all. However, he mentioned that their scheduled summer tour has been called off. This includes performances on the “Summer of ’99” tour with Creed, Daughtry, and others.

Arnold’s diagnosis has sparked an outpouring of fan support, with many followers who have been fans of the Mississippi band since their rise in the early 2000s. Renowned for chart-topping hits such as “Kryptonite,” “Here Without You,” and “It’s Not My Time,” Arnold seems to think that last song is particularly fitting for him now, as he wrote in his caption, “Now I truly believe ‘ITS NOT MY TIME’ is my song.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed type of kidney cancer in adults, making up about 80% of all kidney cancer cases. This disease often originates from the filtering cells within the kidney and, when in advanced stages like Arnold’s, may metastasize to other organs distant from the kidney.
