3 Doors Down Singer Brad Arnold Dies at 47

Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, died at the age of 47 on Saturday, February 7, after a battle with cancer, according to statements from the band and Fox News Digital. Arnold passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.

Arnold was diagnosed with Stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, in May 2025, which led to the cancellation of the band's summer tour, according to CBS News. Despite the diagnosis, Arnold expressed he had "no fear." The band's statement, as reported by CBS News, noted that 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."

As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Arnold helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting, according to a statement obtained by Fox News. The statement added that his lyrical themes resonated with everyday listeners.

In other news, authorities are investigating a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing last weekend, ABC News reported. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department are inspecting the information for its authenticity, according to a social media post from the sheriff's department. Authorities believe she was abducted from her Arizona home.

Also, an Ohio man has been charged with threatening to kill Vice President JD Vance while he was visiting his home state last month, ABC News reported. In addition to the charge for threatening Vance, Shannon Mathre was also charged with possessing digital files depicting child sexual abuse. The second charge carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Mathre's lawyer stated that his health makes it unlikely he would have been able to carry out the threat.

In other news, supermodel Paulina Porizkova is exposing some dark secrets of the high-fashion world, claiming that her rise to superstardom was paved with uncomfortable encounters, according to Fox News. Porizkova, now 60, detailed the normalization of sexual harassment she allegedly faced as a teenager, saying the very people tasked with managing her career often sent her into compromising situations. "I started modeling at 15 in Paris on a summer break from school," Porizkova shared in a video clip posted to Instagram.
