Damn! I had read he was sick a few years back. RIP

 

[struggler_guts]

Damn, Rest in Peace man, these guys were a big part of my childhood

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Friend told me about this earlier today. Was sad to hear, and as always, FUCK CANCER!

 

[cormack12]

47 is no age at all.

 

[Nocty]

shit freaks me out man he barely older than me. RIP

 

[Deus Mortis]

Seriously fuck cancer, mom has survived two different types and it is something that I don't wish on 99.9% of people.

 

[ReBurn]

Way too young. Such sad news.

 

[Kacho]

RIP

I remember seeing them live at a work party in 2004.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Love this band. See you on the other side brother

 

[kevboard]

this was my ringtone on my N-Gage back in 2003. (you could turn MP3s into ringtones on it)

rip

 

[Grildon Tundy]

RIP. It's a rare few who can make songs as well-known as he did with 3 Doors Down, and as a band, they did a bunch of charity work through a foundation they set up. Gone too soon.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Crazy. That is really young. May he rest in peace and may his loved ones find comfort and hope during this painful time.

 

[balls of snow]

Rip.
I played 3DD songs all day in the gym today. Not really a superfan but as a millenial growing up with alt adult rock internet radio, they were a mainstay throughout.

Yep, fuck cancer.

[Northeastmonk]

He had such an iconic voice and their lyrics were impactful. I never felt like they were an artificial type band. RIP

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

kryptonite was one of the few first songs I learned to play all those years back; dusted it off any played it a couple times today.
rip

 

[Smiggs]

What a damn shame, dude had a great voice and I loved their early stuff. I never saw them live, but some of my friends and family did, and said they were incredible.

Rest in peace, brother. And fuck cancer.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

We need to take care of ourselves, friends. Lately, there have been many people with that condition... Like the actor from Black Panther.

He died from colon cancer. Definitely a nasty cancer.

He died from colon cancer. Definitely a nasty cancer.

I know... But I've seen that this cancer condition is increasing in many people.

colon and pancreatic cancer is tough since its one of those ones where you don't know you have it till its too late, unlike boob or ball cancer where you can find a lump or something as a pre-cursor.

But the good news is that in Russia, China, Spain, and Mexico they have found ways to fight cancer.

And Japan is eradicating Down syndrome.

Too many on the other side no?

I'll always resonate 3 Doors Down with any social gathering. I can recall hearing their music at bars, casinos, shopping centers, restaurants, special events at the park, and so many more. Maybe it's because I'm from the Midwest, USA.
