The lead singer and songwriter of 3 Doors Down, Brad Arnold, has died after a battle with cancer, the rock band announced on X. He was 47. "He will be deeply missed and forever remembered," the band said in a statement on Saturday. The band is best known for 2000s rock hits like Kryptonite, Here Without You, When I'm Gone, and Loser. In May 2025, Arnold announced that he was ill, and had received a diagnosis of stage 4 clear cell renal carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, which had metastasised into his lung.

Need more evidence of the rampant political polarization that’s tearing at the fabric of America? Yeah, we didn’t either, but here it is anyway. A tribute to deceased former 3 Doors Down guitarist Matt Roberts was besieged by critics of the group on Friday, following news that the group will perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration. The tribute was posted Wednesday to commemorate what would have been Roberts’ 39th birthday. “Tuesday was your birthday. You would’ve been 39 years old. To even try to remember all the things we experienced together……more than most will ever see. Good times, bad times…..always my...

President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration has landed a few additional performers: Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, Lee Greenwood, Jennifer Holliday, The Piano Guys, and the Frontmen of Country will all play a headlining concert on Jan. 19 at the Lincoln Memorial, Trump’s inaugural committee announced on Friday.

3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold recently stopped singing mid-performance to kick out a male fan for hitting a woman in the audience during the band's July 14 concert in Broomfield, Colorado according to a Friday, July 17 report from Mashable. Brad Arnold spotted the man being abusive to the female in the audience and went off on the man. “Hang on, hang on, hang on. Hey, hey homie. You don’t hit a woman,” Arnold yelled to the man. “You just pushed a woman out of the way to get in a fight, you d**k! Get him the hell out...

If anyone here hasn't seen the new video for the band 3 Doors Down's new single "When I'm Gone," it features US servicemen and women hugging their families goodbye, and also some video of our military in action. The video at the end is dedicated to our men and women in uniform. The band also plays concerts for military personnel (i.e. USO shows). I have liked the band before, but haven't been motivated enough to go out and buy their albums. Today, I decided to show my support...I picked up their new album "Away From the Sun" and "The Good...

I recently saw the video by a rock group from Alabama called 3 Doors Down. The name of the song is "When I'm Gone," and it is definitely something you wouldn't expect from a music act these days. The video was partially shot during the group's goodwill tour of naval installations overseas associated with the 5t Fleet in the Middle East, Spain, and Italy, and on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George Washington. The video shows the band performing, to what I believe is a crowd of service men and women, and shows clips of men and women from the various...
