In Memoriam: 3 Doors Down's Singer "Brad Arnold" Dies Aged 47

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. I have no fear, I really sincerely am not scared of it at all," the frontman said, adding that he was disappointed that the band would have to cancel an upcoming tour. "I'd love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get," he said.

In its statement, 3 Doors Down said that, as a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer, "Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct song writing and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners".

The original band was formed in Mississippi in the mid-1990s. Another founding member of the original trio, Matt Roberts, died in 2016 at the age of 38. Arnold wrote Kryptonite, the band's breakout 2000 hit, "in his math class when he was just 15 years old", the statement continued.

Those closest to Arnold will "remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends", it said. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer.

The band was regularly heard on rock and pop radio throughout the 2000s and 2010s. They have won three Billboard Music Awards. Their debut album The Better Life was the 11th biggest-selling album of the year in their home country.

Arnold had spoken openly about hit battle with alcoholism and his recovery, having been sober since 2016. "I used to think it was a way to calm myself prior to a show or to chase loneliness," he told Charleston.com in 2023.

New Music: Waiting On You

            

Rick Astley celebrates 60th birthday with new single "Waiting On You" A landmark birthday is the perfect time for reflection. And as Rick Astley turns 60, he can look back on some enviable achievements – from his iconic global breakthrough with Never Gonna Give You Up to an unexpected career resurgence as he returned to No.1 with 50. But it’s also a time to look ahead towards what comes next, and that starts with intent as Rick shares his new single Waiting On You. This track underlines Rick’s ability to evoke timeless 60s soul influences and infuse them with a contemporary touch that is completely in tune with the present day. Emotive strings and Rick’s inimitable baritone provide the perfect sonic touchpoints for a song which not only looks back to the first flush of love, but also celebrates how it endures deep into a life together. Waiting On You was written, produced and almost entirely solely performed by Rick Astley at his studio, The Spud Farm.

New Music: Indigo Park

           

Bruce Hornsby has released a new song titled Indigo Park, marking his first major new music release of 2026 and offering a deeply personal look back at his formative years. The song arrives as the lead single from Hornsby’s upcoming album Indigo Park, which is scheduled for release later this year. Built around Hornsby’s signature piano work and understated storytelling, the track reflects on a teenage memory from his hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia, centered on a party at the Indigo Park Pool during his high school years. Lyrically, “Indigo Park” blends nostalgia with self awareness, capturing the awkwardness, freedom, and emotional intensity of adolescence. Hornsby delivers the story in a conversational tone, allowing small details and reflections to carry the weight rather than leaning on grand gestures. The result is a song that feels intimate and quietly powerful. The videographers are Matt Clery & Jorge Lazzari
