Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, dies at 47 after cancer battle

On Saturday, Brad Arnold, lead singer and founding member of 3 Doors Down, died after a battle with cancer, and a representative said he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his wife and family.
In May last year, Arnold revealed he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into his lung, forcing cancellation of the band's summer tour.
A defining achievement was Arnold writing and producing the 2000 hit `Kryptonite`, which reached Number Three on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over seven million units in the US.
His family said they are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and asked for privacy, while Alter Bridge and Creed paid tribute to Arnold's kindness and friendship.
As a founding member, Arnold co-founded 3 Doors Down in Escatawpa, Mississippi in 1996, and the band previously endured the death of co-founder Matt Roberts at age 38.
