3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold has sadly passed away at the age of 47 after a battle with kidney cancer.
"With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, [Brad] passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer," 3 Doors Down said in a statement.
"Brad's songwriting became a cultural touchstone for a generation, producing some of the most enduring hits of the 2000s, including the band's breakout hit, "Kryptonite," which he wrote in his math class when he was just 15 years old."
"His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on."
"Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends."
Back in May, Arnold released a video, revealing that he found out he had cancer.
Rest in peace, Brad.
First I want to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and allowing me to be in this position, without HIM none of this would be possible. I would like to thank all of the coaches that has helped up to this point! Also I want to thank my family for being there for me every single day! #committed

@amazon please tell your drivers itโs okay to use the reverse in their @uhaul trucks so they do not make ruts in the customer yards. Also, on rainy days make an effort to put packages against the door instead of them letting them get drenched.
Last night was rough for us @dukebasketball fans but at least I got to meet the infamous @joshuacox in person! Thanks for taking the time with your twitter followers! ๐
