Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, died at the age of 47 after a battle with cancer, the band announced on Saturday. In other news, heavy metal band Twisted Sister canceled its 50th anniversary reunion shows after lead singer Dee Snider resigned due to health issues, and authorities are investigating a new message regarding the missing Nancy Guthrie. Additionally, an Ohio man has been charged with threatening to kill Vice President JD Vance, and a Russian general shot in Moscow is recovering after surgery.
Arnold's death was announced on social media by 3 Doors Down. The band stated that he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, with his wife Jennifer by his side. Arnold had announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, which led to the cancellation of the band's summer tour. Despite the diagnosis, Arnold said he had "no fear."
Twisted Sister's cancellation of its reunion shows was announced on Friday. The band cited Snider's "sudden and unexpected resignation" as the reason. Snider, 70, stated that his body could "no longer push the boundaries of rock and roll fury," due to health issues including degenerative arthritis and multiple surgeries. The band indicated that the future of Twisted Sister would be determined in the coming weeks.
Authorities are also investigating a new message related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. She went missing last weekend, and authorities believe she was abducted from her Arizona home. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department are inspecting the information in the message for its authenticity, according to a social media post from the sheriff's department.
In Ohio, a man has been charged with threatening to kill Vice President JD Vance during a visit to the state last month. Shannon Mathre was also charged with possessing digital files depicting child sexual abuse, a charge that carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Mathre's lawyer stated that his client's health made it unlikely he could have carried out the threat.
Finally, in Moscow, Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev, Russia's deputy head of military intelligence, is recovering after being shot several times on Friday. He underwent successful surgery and has regained consciousness, according to Russian media reports. Two suspects have been arrested and will be questioned. Russian officials have blamed Kyiv for the shooting, but Ukraine's foreign minister denied involvement, according to Reuters.
