Creed pays emotional tribute to Brad Arnold after singer’s death at 47

Following the death of 3 Doors Down singer, Brad Arnold—who passed away from Stage IV kidney cancer at age 47 on Saturday February 7, 2026—the 90s rock band Creed, who toured with Arnold and his band in 2024, have paid the legendary singer an emotional tribute on Instagram, describing him as “a man of faith, and as solid as they come.”

The full tribute: 

“Words cannot begin to describe the heaviness in our hearts tonight. Brad Arnold was an inspiration, a man of faith, and as solid as they come. An incredible musician and singer, yes, but anyone who knew him knew that he was an even more incredible man.

When we asked Brad and 3 Doors Down to be a part of Creed’s reunion tour, we had no idea that it would be Brad’s last. We are forever grateful to have been able to make memories with our friend one last time.

While Brad will be missed in this life, we look forward to the next reunion. Until then, rest easy Brad Arnold”
