Let's cut to the chase. Rock band 3 Doors Down ain't hitting the road this summer in the States. Why, you ask? Well, their lead singer, Brad Arnold, gets hit with a hard Glaswegian right hook from a foul, malignant bastard called cancer. Yep, you heard that right - cancer. The 46-year-old front man announced his diagnosis in a raw, honest Instagram video, revealing that the dirty devil has invaded his kidneys, setting up shop in stage 4 and even sprawling out to his lungs.

This rugged band of Mississippi originators, who catapulted to international fame in the mid-90s, gained recognition with their debut hit "Kryptonite" (2000). They snagged the American Music Award for Best New Artist in 2001, and electrified the German music scene with "Here Without You." Other chart-topping hits by the band include "When I'm Gone," "Let Me Go," and "It's Not My Time."
