The Unfortunate Setback
With the unfortunate turn of events, the band has been compelled to cancel their much-anticipated summer tour that was initially scheduled to kick off on May 15, 2025, in Daytona Beach. The tour would've featured co-headlining shows with Creed, but alas, it seems it's not in the cards for now.
Staying Strong and Faithful
Brad's taking it all in stride, crediting his strong faith in God for his positive outlook. Fans have rallied around him, offering emotionally charged messages of support and love. In his video announcement, Brad asked fans to keep him in their prayers during this trying time.
Battling the Odds
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the type of kidney cancer Brad's dealing with, is the most common one. Treatment options typically involve immunotherapy and surgery. However, when the cancer has metastasized, as it has in Brad's case, the prognosis becomes challenging. The five-year survival rate for patients with metastatic disease is significantly lower.
But hey, we're all rooting for you, Brad! Here's to a speedy recovery and the return of the mighty 3 Doors Down! In the words of their song, it's definitely not your time yet! 🚀🚀🚀
