3 Doors Down vocalist Brad Arnold recently announced that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer.
The singer shared the news on Instagram on 7 May, saying that he received the bad news following a checkup at the hospital after getting sick a couple of weeks prior.
“I got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasised into my lung. And that’s stage 4, and that’s not really good,” he said.
However, despite the diagnosis, Arnold said that he has no fear going into treatment.
“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.”
Arnold also posted in the caption, “Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe “ITS NOT MY TIME” is really my song. This’ll be a battle so we need our prayers warriors! Thank y’all for being the best fans in the world. We love y’all!”
Many took to the comments to express their support, including Creed frontman Scott Stapp, who wrote, “If anyone has the FAITH and STRENGTH to face this fight, it’s YOU brother. You and your family are in my prayers daily. We can do ALL things through CHRIST. 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!”
