Legendary Gulf Coast recording artist Brad Arnold, lead singer and founding member of 3 Doors Down, lost his long battle with cancer Saturday, February 7, 2026.
With over 25 million+ albums sold, and even more fans, Brad and 3 Doors Down have been one of the great Gulf Coast musical success stories since their inception in the late 1990’s, selling out concerts worldwide for adoring fans.
Beyond the rock star successes, 3 Doors Down started The Better Life Foundation (TBLF) in 2003, with a goal to give as many children as possible a better life. Since its inception, TBLF has supported numerous charities across the US, including the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse, and the Habitat for Humanity, as well as providing aid and assistance to the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi during Hurricane Katrina.
