In a deeply personal video message, Brad Arnold, the frontman of 3 Doors Down, opened up about a devastating health diagnosis, announcing to fans that he is battling stage 4 kidney cancer.

The 45-year-old singer revealed that he has been diagnosed with clear cell renal carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer that has already spread to his lungs.

“Hi everybody, it’s Brad, from 3 Doors Down”, he begins, his voice steady but emotional. “I hope you’re having a great day today. Um, got some not so good news for you today”.

He went on to explain how recent illness led to a hospital visit – and an unexpected, life-changing discovery.

“(I was) sick a couple of weeks ago and then I went to the hospital and got checked out, actually got the diagnosis that I had a clear cell renal cell carcinoma, that had metastasized into my lungs”, he shared. “And that’s stage 4, and that’s not real good”.

Despite the severity of the diagnosis, Arnold expressed an unshakable sense of faith and calm. “But you know what, we serve a mighty God, and he can overcome anything”, he said. “So I have no fear, I really sincerely am not scared of it at all”.

With his condition now requiring urgent treatment, Arnold announced that 3 Doors Down’s summer tour has been called off. “But it is gonna force us to cancel our tour this summer and we’re sorry for that”, he said, offering his sincere apologies to fans.

The band’s official website has since been updated to reflect the news, stating simply: “no upcoming events”. They had been due to perform at multiple venues including Daytona International Speedway this month in Florida, the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, New Jersey, in July, and a gig at the White River Amphitheatre, Washington, in August.

Arnold also issued a special plea as he said: “I’d love for you to lift me up in prayer any chance you get”. He ended his brave message by saying his band’s song It’s Not My Time would serve as his own personal anthem.

“It’s time for me to listen to ‘ It’s Not My Time a little bit, right? Thank you guys so much. God loves you, we love you. See ya”.

Arnold also wrote in a poignant caption: “Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe ‘ ITS NOT MY TIME ‘ is really my song.

” This’ll be a battle so we need our prayers warriors! Thank y’all for being the best fans in the world. We love y’all! “

Following his sad announcement, fans fo Brad’s have shared their sympathy with the musician”. I’m sobbing. I’m so sorry. Life is so unfair, “one wrote. Another echoed:” So so so so so sad to hear this. You are so strong my man. You got this. “

” It’s an awful world we live in when bad things happen to good people. Sending you so much love Brad, “another added.

Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has celebrated her on-off partner Tommy Fury on his 26th birthday with an emotional tribute

Molly-Mae Hague has appeared to have finally officially confirmed that she’s back with her ex-fiancé Tommy Fury as she shared an emotional birthday tribute to him on Wednesday.

Professional boxer and former Love Island star Tommy is celebrating his 26th birthday today – and unlike last year, Molly-Mae, 25, didn’t miss out on marking his special day.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Wednesday evening, Molly-Mae finally put the rumours to bed about her and Tommy’s relationship status as she penned an emotional birthday message.

The social media megastar, who shared two-year-old daughter Bambi with Tommy, shared an adorable photo from the family’s recent trip to Dubai.

After admitting that the getaway to Dubai was ‘the best holiday of her life’, Molly-Mae delighted fans as she shared a snippet into her and Tommy’s time with Bambi in the United Arab Emirates.

Alongside an adorable snap of Tommy embracing Bambi while watching the sunset, she wrote: “Happy Birthday to you. You make our little girls world light up.”

Molly-Mae and Tommy shocked fans when they ended their relationship last summer. However, the pair seemingly reunited at the beginning of 2025 when they were pictured sharing a New Year’s Eve kiss, and have since enjoyed holidays to Dubai, Budapest and UK staycation spot Center Parcs.

While they didn’t disclose the reason for breaking up at the time of their split, both Tommy and Molly-Mae have since revealed it was the boxer’s unsteady relationship with alcohol that caused a downward spiral.

During previously released episodes of Molly-Mae’s documentary, she admitted Tommy’s drinking had taken a toll on her and recalled “begging and pleading” him not to drink during family occasions, including her sister Zoe’s wedding. The Maebe founder also admitted she “couldn’t remember” any moments where his drinking didn’t end in “disaster.”

The pair announced their split through individual Instagram statements back in August. “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae told her 8 million followers at the time.

“After five years together I never thought our story would end, especially not this way. I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”

“I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”

Molly-Mae reached out to her followers with a heartfelt message as she added: “I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all. Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time. I’ll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x.”

Tommy then posted on his Instagram as he wrote “I am heartbroken to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship. The past 5 years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad.”

At the time, he concluded his post by saying: “Bambi is our priority. Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time”.

The Love Island series 10 star has finally confirmed her romance with Charlton Athletic footballer as she shared a series of loved up snaps of the pair to social media

Love Island’s Ella Thomas has confirmed her relationship with footballer Lloyd Jones, sharing a series of romantic photos on social media. This comes shortly after her ex, Tyrique Hyde, appeared to subtly criticise the new romance.

After weeks of speculation, the 25 year old reality star finally made her relationship with the Charlton Athletic player official on Instagram.

Lloyd was the first to publicly acknowledge their relationship on May 4, when he posted a sweet photo of Ella supporting him as he accepted his club’s Player of the Season award. Now, Ella has reciprocated by posting a series of loved-up photos from a romantic evening together.

In the pictures, the reality star is seen looking stunning in a black halter neck dress, posing for a selfie with her handsome beau at what seems to be an awards ceremony. This was followed by a mirror selfie in an elevator as they headed to the glamorous event.

Ella simply captioned the photos: ‘Recently,’ accompanied by a black heart emoji.

This comes not long after her ex Tyrique, who she met on Love Island, seemed to take a cryptic swipe at her new relationship. Following Lloyd’s post, Tyrique shared a throwback photo of himself in the Love Island confessional on his own Instagram Stories.

In the photo, he’s seen smiling at the camera, but the subtitle underneath reads: ‘Nah, I’m very sad, trust me. ‘ The timing didn’t go unnoticed by fans, with many believing it was a subtle dig or reaction to Ella’s new relationship.

Ella and Tyrique’s relationship was first tested during the tenth series of the dating show, which saw them experience a rollercoaster of emotions. Despite the drama, they left the villa together, seemingly stronger than ever.

However, shortly after their departure, they announced their split in November 2023, before deciding to give their relationship another shot.

Ella and Tyrique had ended their relationship for good after being together for six months. A source revealed to MailOnline: “Ella and Tyrique have decided it’s time to go their separate ways. They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they’re always arguing.”

The couple came third in their summer series of Love Island, missing out on the top two spots to runners-up Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki and winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root.

Earlier this year, Ella hinted at a return to the Love Island villa for the ITV spin-off All Stars by posting a series of suggestive photos on Instagram. She dropped a significant hint that she might be heading to the glamorous villa in South Africa.

Love Island All Stars brings back previous contestants from various series in an attempt to give them another shot at love. Ella tantalised her fans with the possibility of appearing on the show when she took a trip to Cape Town, where the show is filmed.

Sharing a collection of sunny holiday photos on her Instagram, Ella told her followers: ‘out of office’. However, she did not appear on the 2025 series, which was eventually won by Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.
