摇滚乐队3 Doors Down周六在社交媒体上宣布，该乐队创始人兼主唱布拉德·阿诺德（Brad Arnold）在与癌症进行”英勇抗争”后去世，享年47岁。
乐队声明中写道：”在他深爱的妻子詹妮弗（Jennifer）和家人的陪伴下，他安详离世，被亲人环绕。他的音乐影响力远超舞台，创造了无数充满联结、欢乐、信仰和共同经历的时刻，这些都将在他演出过的舞台落幕之后长久留存。”
2025年5月，阿诺德在一段视频中宣布自己被诊断出患有IV期透明细胞肾细胞癌（一种常见的肾癌），这迫使3 Doors Down取消了当年夏季巡演。尽管诊断结果严峻，这位创作型歌手表示自己”毫无恐惧”。

阿诺德出生于密西西比州埃斯卡塔沃帕（Escatawpa），1996年与吉他手马特·罗伯茨（Matt Roberts）和贝斯手托德·哈雷尔（Todd Harrell）共同组建了3 Doors Down。罗伯茨于2016年因疑似药物过量去世。哈雷尔因多项酒后驾车指控和一项过失杀人罪不再留在乐队。
阿诺德本人曾与酗酒问题作斗争，但他表示自己已经戒酒十年。2025年1月，他在重金属新闻网站Blabbermouth.net上表示，戒酒的这些年是他人生中”最美好的时光”。
乐队的代表作是2000年的歌曲《Kryptonite》，该曲获得格莱美奖提名。据乐队声明称，这首歌是阿诺德15岁时在数学课上创作的。他们的首张录音室专辑《The Better Life》销量达六倍白金唱片。
声明中还写道：”他是詹妮弗深爱的丈夫，他的善良、幽默和慷慨感染了所有有幸认识他的人。最亲近他的人不仅会铭记他的才华，还有他的温暖、谦逊、信仰以及对家人和朋友的深切爱意。”
Brad Arnold, 3 Doors Down founder and lead singer, dies at 47

Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of the 3 Doors Down, has died following “his courageous battle with cancer,” the rock band announced Saturday on social media. He was 47.
“With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,” the band’s statement read. “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.”
Arnold announced in May 2025 in a video that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer, which forced 3 Doors Down to cancel its summer tour. Despite the grim diagnosis, the singer-songwriter said he had “no fear.”

Born in Escatawpa, Mississippi, Arnold formed 3 Doors Down in 1996 with guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. Roberts died in 2016 of a suspected drug overdose. Harrell is no longer with the band following several DUI charges and a vehicular homicide charge.
Arnold himself struggled with alcoholism, but he said he had been sober for a decade. In January 2025, he told heavy metal news website Blabbermouth.net that the years without alcohol were “the best years” of his life.
The band’s biggest hit was the 2000 song “Kryptonite,” which was nominated for a Grammy Award. It was written by Arnold when he was just 15 years old in math class, the group’s statement said. Its first studio album, “The Better Life,” went platinum six times over.
“He was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him,” the band’s statement read. “Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends.”
