3 Doors Down Singer Brad Arnold Remains Brave After Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis: ‘This’ll Be a Battle’

Musician Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down revealed that he had stage 4 cancer in an Instagram post shared on May 7.

“Hey, everybody. It’s Brad from 3 Doors Down. I hope you’re having a great day today,” the singer began.

“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, and that’s not real good,” he said.

Despite the diagnosis, Arnold remained hopeful and said, “You know what we serve a mighty God, and he can overcome anything, so I have no fear.”

He continued, “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.”

“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,” Arnold told his fans.

In his caption, Arnold wrote, “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!”
