It's crushing news for rock 'n' roll fans as American band 3 Doors Down has scrapped their summer tour across the US. Their frontman Brad Arnold, a 46-year-old powerhouse vocalist, has been hit by a punch of cancer, specifically stage 4 kidney cancer that's made its way to his lungs.
In a raw and heartfelt Instagram video, Arnold shared the shocking news. He explained that he'd been under the weather for a couple of weeks and subsequently got himself checked out. The doctors' grim discovery was clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a aggressive form of kidney cancer known for its stubborn metastasis propensity. But Arnold, his spirit unbroken, cited his unwavering faith as his unlikely source of courage.
