Brad Arnold, lead singer, founding member, and original drummer of rock band 3 Doors Down, has died at the age of 47. Arnold passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, surrounded by his wife, Jennifer, and family, following a battle with cancer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The musician had revealed in May 2025 that he was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. At the time, he said in an Instagram video, "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."
