Pumanaw na ang lead singer ng Grammy-nominated rock band na 3 Doors Down na si Brad Arnold sa edad na 47 nitong Sabado, Pebrero 7, ilang buwan matapos niyang ipahayag na na-diagnose siya na may stage 4 kidney cancer.

Sa isang statement ng banda ay sinabi nilang si Arnold, “passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer”. Gayundin sa kanilang social media post, “he had helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting.”

Nabuo ang 3 Doors Down sa Mississippi noong 1995, at makalipas ang apat na taon ay nakatanggap sila ng Grammy nomination para sa breakout hit na “Kryptonite”. Si Arnold ang sumulat ng kanta noong siya ay 15 taong gulang pa lamang, ayon sa pahayag ng banda.

Ang kanilang debut album, “The Better Life”, ay nakabenta ng higit sa 6 million copies. Nakakuha rin sila ng pangalawang Grammy nomination noong 2003 para sa kantang “When I’m Gone”.

“That’s not real good,” ayon kay Arnold sa kanyang diagnosis. “But you know what? 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.” Dagdag pa niya, “I’d love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get.”
