Brad Arnold, the lead singer of 3 Doors Down, just announced he’s battling stage 4 cancer.
Arnold, 46, shared a touching video message on Instagram, telling fans, “Got some not so good news for you today. I’d been sick a couple weeks ago and went to the hospital and got checked out and actually got the diagnosis that I have clear renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung and that’s Stage 4.”
The “Kryptonite” singer shared, “But you know what 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.”

Brad told fans, “I would love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get, and I think it is time for me to go listen to ‘It’s Not My Time’ a little bit.”
“It’s Not My Time” is a 2008 track by 3 Doors Down with the lyrics, “It's not my time, I'm not going / There's a fear in me, it's not showing / This could be the end of me / And everything I know.”

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! I love you bro…👊🏼✝️🙏🏼”
