Three Doors Down singer Brad Arnold has announced he has stage 4 kidney cancer that has spread to his lungs — but says he has “no fear.”
The rock band and Arnold, 46, posted a shared update on their Instagram accounts on May 7, announcing that he had “some not so good news for you today. And, so, I've been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out.”
That’s when the "Kryptonite" singer says he “got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And that's stage 4, and that's not real good.”
Arnold shared, he’s relying on his faith to get through treatment. “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.”
He ended with a plea for fans to “lift me up in prayer every chance you get and like, it's time for me to go listen to ‘Not My Time’ a little bit, right?”, a reference to the band’s 2008 Billboard Top 20 hit, which includes the lyrics “This could be the end of me / And everything I know / But it's not my time, I'm not going.”
