As a founding singer of 3 doors below, Arnold helped to propel the group of his humble beginnings in Escatawpa, Mississippi, to world celebrity. The group, formed in 1996, is skyrocketing with their broken down hit “Kryptonite”, a song that dominated the waves and culminated in number three of the Billboard Hot 100. Their first album, The best lifehas become one of the best-selling albums of 2000, and the group solidified its place as a pillar of the post-Grunge rock era with successes like “When I’m Gone” and “Here without you”.
Arnold shocked the world of music in May 2025 when, in a video message to fans published on Instagram, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with renal carcinoma of clear cells, a type of kidney cancer, which had spread to his lungs, leading to a stadium diagnosis.
From the start, Arnold faced the battle of incredible optimism and deep dependence on his faith. In the video, he asked fans to “raise me in prayer whenever you get” and referenced the group’s own hit “It is not my time” as a personal hymne.
Following its diagnosis, 3 doors below canceled all their upcoming tour dates so that Arnold can focus on its treatment and recovery, as well as wiping their website, Music Mayhem Magazine Reports.
While fans certainly fail to see him on stage, the recent birthday post is a beautiful recall that he is surrounded by love and faith while he continues his fight.
