Her final event is on Thursday, the women’s super-G, at 5:30 a.m. ET.
After Vonn was injured last week, many thought it would rule her out of the Olympics, but the Minnesota native has fought through. On X, she clarified that her ACL is 100% ruptured.
LINDSEY VONN TO COMPETE IN WINTER OLYMPICS DAYS AFTER SUFFERING INJURY IN WORLD CUP CRASH
An ACL tear normally entails a recovery that lasts about a year, but Vonn plans to fight through it.
She made a stunning comeback to the sport last year after nearly six years away from competition. Her return followed a partial titanium replacement inserted into her right knee, which she had in 2024.
The Team USA legend is the second-most successful woman in World Cup history with 84 wins. She has won eight World Championship medals.
Vonn won a gold medal in the downhill and a bronze medal in the super-G in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, and a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. She will look to add to her collection in Italy.

NYPD sergeant convicted after throwing cooler at fleeing drug suspect in New York City: report
A New York City Police Department (NYPD) sergeant who fatally threw a plastic cooler at a scooter-riding suspect fleeing a drug bust was convicted of manslaughter on Friday.
Sgt. Erik Duran, 38, was found guilty of the August 2023 death of Eric Duprey, who was speeding away from undercover police along a sidewalk in the Bronx after allegedly being busted for selling them $20 worth of cocaine, trial testimony revealed, the New York Post reported.
Duran became the first NYPD officer found guilty of a crime for killing someone while on duty in New York City in a decade, the Post reported. He faces up to 15 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 19.
The case was decided by a judge rather than a jury after Duran waived his right to a jury trial.
EX-MINNEAPOLIS OFFICER DEREK CHAUVIN, CONVICTED OF GEORGE FLOYD MURDER, FILES FOR NEW TRIAL
The case was prosecuted by New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, which has jurisdiction over police-involved deaths under a 2015 state law.
Surveillance video shows Duprey driving on a sidewalk toward a group of people who do not appear to be in uniform.
As he approaches, the video shows Duran picking up a red object — the cooler — and throwing it at the motorcyclist's head from close range. Duprey then loses control and is thrown toward a tree as the motorcycle veers into the street. The bike then smashes into a metal barricade before coming to rest against a parked car. He was pronounced dead minutes after the crash, police said.
Duprey had fled as plainclothes narcotics unit officers tried to arrest him on suspicion of selling drugs in what’s known as a "buy-and-bust" operation, according to police.
Bronx Supreme Court Judge Guy Mitchell announced the verdict Friday afternoon in a courtroom filled with police officers on one side and Duprey’s relatives, friends and activists on the other, the New York Post reported. Court officers separated the groups.
Duran looked down at the defense table as the verdict was read while Duprey’s mother, Gretchen Soto, and his partner, Pearl Velez — the mother of his two children — cried in the gallery.
FORMER LOUISVILLE POLICE OFFICER SENTENCED FOR VIOLATING BREONNA TAYLOR'S CIVIL RIGHTS
"I never lost faith. I always was, you know…that justice is going to happen," Velez told reporters afterward.
Following the conviction, Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) President Vincent Vallelong issued a statement calling the verdict a "miscarriage of justice" and stating it sends a "terrible message" to officers who use force in defense.
"We vigorously maintain Sergeant Duran’s innocence," Vallelong said. "The verdict rendered by Judge Mitchell is clearly against the weight of the credible evidence."
"Verdicts such as this send a terrible message to hard-working cops: Should you use force to defend yourself, your fellow police officers or the citizens of the city, no matter how justified your actions, you risk criminal charges and conviction," Vallelong added.
According to the Post, Duran testified in his own defense, claiming he threw the cooler to protect fellow officers.
"I thought he was going to kill my guys," Duran said during the three-week trial.
Judge Mitchell rejected that argument, ruling Duran was not justified in using deadly force.
"After consideration of all evidence, the people proved beyond all reasonable doubt that this defendant was not justified," the judge said.
Duran joined the NYPD in 2010 and has been recognized by the department dozens of times for what it deems excellent and meritorious police service, according to a police personnel database. Duran's disciplinary record includes a substantiated complaint in 2022 for abusing his authority during a stop, according to the city's Civilian Complaint Review Board.

Jasmine Crockett says some Republicans would 'absolutely' vote for her in a general election
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, asserted that some Republicans would "absolutely" vote for her in a general election as the freshman congresswoman battles it out to become the state's Democratic nominee for Senate.
During a Friday appearance on MS NOW’s "The Weeknight," Crockett was asked by co-host Michael Steele whether Republicans could be convinced she is "the representative they need in Washington" if she were to reach the general election.
"Oh, absolutely," Crockett replied. "Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want."
She argued that Republican voters "aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite," and if they were, "they could just go and get the real thing."
"What they want is somebody that they know who they are," she contended. "I have text messages from Republicans that have made it clear that if there is a certain person that ends up making it through, they are absolutely voting for me because they know who I am."
While Crockett admitted that she may not be Republican voters' "perfect candidate," she insisted that President Donald Trump wasn't either, and he was still able to garner their support and win the White House.
"When Republicans went out and voted for a less than perfect candidate in Donald Trump — they don’t seek perfection, whereas Democrats typically do," she claimed. "And so, while I may not be their perfect candidate, they know that. I know the issues. They know that I know how to work across the aisle when necessary."
"And they also know that I don’t take any mess. And when you are Texas, then it’s a matter of you don’t mess with Texas," Crockett added.
In December, while talking to CNN, Crockett said she wasn't trying to win over supporters of President Donald Trump: "I don‘t know that we’ll necessarily convert all of Trump‘s supporters. That’s not our goal."
The Texas congresswoman is currently running against state Rep. James Talarico, D-Texas, in the Lone Star State’s Democratic Senate primary.
Despite her quick rise to notoriety in U.S. politics, some on the left have begun to question Crockett's candidacy if she were to reach the general election.
Last week, liberal New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg argued that former "Saturday Night Live" star Bowen Yang and his podcast co-host Matt Rogers "were right" to criticize Crockett's Senate campaign on their "Las Culturistas" show earlier this month.
Goldberg noted that while the controversy surrounding Yang and Rogers' comments may seem trivial, "it merits attention" because "the underlying issue could cost Democrats the Senate this fall."

The two comedians received backlash after Rogers urged listeners not to donate to Crockett’s campaign, criticizing politicians who make everything "about themselves." Yang agreed with Rogers, but both apologized days later for the remarks.
As noted by Goldberg, Yang and Rogers faced pushback from Crockett and her supporters, who accused the hosts of racism and misogyny.
"But Rogers and Yang were right to be skeptical of Crockett, who almost certainly cannot win a general election in Texas," the columnist contended. "Those who disagree have every right to criticize them, and me. But progressives shouldn’t let a retrograde style of internet discourse inhibit them from pointing out the obvious."
Goldberg asserted that "it’s not race and gender that make Crockett a bad candidate," but rather, her "theory about how Democrats can win Texas is wrong." She said that while she can understand why "lots of Democrats adore Crockett," she also sees why others are turned off by her political style.
"Some of her insults are in bad taste — she has called Texas’ governor, Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, ‘Hot Wheels’ — but it’s easy to see why Democrats who feel brutalized by Trump want champions willing to go low," Goldberg wrote.
Aside from Crockett's sometimes brash style, the columnist also made the case that Talarico has proven he has the ability to do something that Crockett has yet to accomplish — turn a red seat blue.

This Senate Democrat wants voter ID for his campaign events — but not federal elections
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is asking attendees at a Saturday campaign event to show government-issued photo ID — even while opposing similar standards for voters in federal elections.
Email confirmation information for an Ossoff rally in Atlanta detailed that "a matching government-issued ID will be verified against the RSVP list by name to enter."
Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., who is running against Ossoff for a Senate seat in 2026, blasted what he called a double-standard.
VULNERABLE DEM'S SUPPORT FOR ALEX PRETTI COLLIDES WITH LAKEN RILEY ACT ANNIVERSARY
"Typical Jon Ossoff to say one thing and do another. It’s ridiculous that Jon Ossoff would require a government ID to listen to him speak about why you shouldn’t need a government ID to vote," Collins said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Ossoff’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
In the wake of election security concerns highlighted by President Donald Trump in previous years, Republicans across Congress have made demands for tighter voter registration standards.
Most recently, lawmakers led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., have called for the passage of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
HOUSE CONSERVATIVES THREATEN EXTENDED SHUTDOWN OVER ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURE
In its current form, the SAVE Act would embed proof of citizenship requirements into existing voter-registration pathways and require states to conduct stricter audits of their voter rolls. The bill also defines documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and links it to some form of photo ID.
It is currently illegal for noncitizens to participate in federal elections, although Republicans maintain that the standard is applied inconsistently, leading to easily-exploitable election vulnerabilities.
Democrats like Ossoff have blasted the legislation, arguing that it would only make it harder for people with limited access to photo ID to participate in elections.
SCHUMER FACES BACKLASH AFTER CALLING SAVE ACT 'JIM CROW' DESPITE PREVIOUS ALLEGATION FALLING FLAT
"This is a nakedly partisan, totally unworkable, bad-faith bill cynically intended to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters," Ossoff said in a statement on the SAVE Act as the bill made its way through the House of Representatives last year.
An earlier version of the SAVE already passed the House in April 2025, attracting bipartisan support in a 216-208 vote. Four Democrats joined Republicans to pass the bill.
Despite Ossoff's previous opposition to the SAVE Act, his campaign event framed the requirement for photo ID as a security measure.
"Due to security requirements … be ready to show ID that matches our RSVP list and these arrival instructions (printed or on your phone)," the campaign event’s confirmation email read.
The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most legislation reaches the chamber floor, is expected to consider an updated version of the SAVE Act in the House of Representatives on Monday.
From a $180 burger to $40 crab nachos, 6 of the top Super Bowl eats and drinks
Super Bowl LX isn’t just bringing football’s biggest matchup to Levi’s Stadium — it’s also delivering an indulgent food and drink lineup built around local Bay Area seafood, bold flavors and globally inspired twists that are sure to fill up your Instagram feed.
From Fisherman’s Wharf–style crab to Chinatown-inspired cocktails, the offerings from Levy, the hospitality group behind Levi’s Stadium, aim to showcase the region’s identity from the concession stands to the VIP suites.
"I issued a challenge to all the chefs that I work with," Jon Severson, Levy’s regional executive chef, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "If you had your own restaurant, what would you want to sell? Then spin it around local San Francisco ingredients."
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY MENUS ARE CHANGING AS PARTY HOSTS SERVE UP SURPRISES THIS YEAR
Levy’s culinary team spent more than two years developing the Super Bowl LX menu, according to the outlet.
The menu is expected to go through roughly 10,000 hot dogs, 1,500 pounds of local Dungeness crab, 2,000 pounds of prime beef tenderloin, 4,000 oysters and 8,000 margaritas, according to Levy. About 90% of the ingredients have also been sourced from California.
Some menu prices may cause a bit of an upset for those watching the New England Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks, with premium, Super Bowl-only items like the $180 LX Hammer Burger pushing into end-zone territory.

While premium clubs and VIP suites will feature even more elevated offerings such as prime beef, seafood towers and caviar, here are six standout foods and drinks fans will find across concession stands and clubs — and what they’ll reportedly cost.
The LX Hammer Burger leans hard into the Super Bowl’s appetite for big, meaty spectacle. The massive, shareable burger features a 3.5-pound fall-off-the-bone braised, bone-in beef shank topped with roasted mirepoix demi-glace and Point Reyes bleu cheese fondue, served on a house-baked brioche bun.
The burger is intended to serve four people — if they're willing to split the $180.
AMERICA’S FAVORITE SUPER BOWL SNACKS, BY STATE
This $40 shareable riff on nachos layers fresh Bay Area crab over hand-cut Kennebec potato chips doused in Petaluma white cheddar fondue sauce, sea salt and chives.
"The crab we are serving will be caught at the very last minute," Lou Bastian, senior vice president of culinary for all of Levy’s West Coast locations, told Forbes. "We met with local Dungeness crab fisherman who said they can get the crab out of the water two days before the event."

For fans with a sweet tooth, the $30 made-from-scratch cinnamon roll iced with white chocolate mascarpone cream and topped with spun sugar should satisfy even the most serious game-day cravings.
The Super Bowl beverage menu, which ranges in price from $19 to $22, mixes creativity with whimsy, including with Chinatown’s Fortune Cookie Martini. Made with vanilla vodka, amaretto, Baileys Irish Cream and cold brew, it is finished with a chocolate-dipped fortune cookie from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.

Levy's is working with the cookie maker in San Francisco to serve 5,000 custom-made fortune cookies, according to Forbes.
The Fog City Frozen Irish Coffee rounds out the menu’s mix of indulgence and local storytelling, nodding both to San Francisco’s famous fog and the city's role in popularizing Irish coffee in the U.S.
The frozen drink blends Irish whiskey, vanilla bean ice cream and cold brew and is topped with an ice cream cookie sandwich for a rich, boozy treat that doubles as dessert.
Team USA women’s hockey powers past Finland at Milan Cortina Games, ties Olympic record
The American women's hockey team improved to 2-0 at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics on Saturday.
Team USA captain Hilary Knight scored in a second straight game, tying the U.S. Olympic record in the Americans’ 5-0 rout of Finland. Her 14 career Winter Olympic goals match totals set by Natalie Darwitz and Katie King.
The Americans wore down an illness-hit Finland squad, extending Finland’s winless Olympic record against the U.S. to 0-11. Vice President JD Vance and his family attended and cheered on the tournament-favorite Americans.

Team USA defender Megan Keller had a goal and two assists, while Alex Carpenter, Taylor Heise and Abbey Murphy also scored. Aerin Frankel stopped 11 shots for her first shutout in just her second career Olympic game.
The Finns returned to the ice as a full team for the first time since last being together at practice on Tuesday. That night, four players developed symptoms of norovirus. Two days later, Finland’s 23-player roster was down to eight forwards and two goalies, prompting Olympic officials to postpone the team’s tournament opener against Canada to Feb. 12.

On Friday, coach Tero Lehtara vowed his team would play the Americans even if it meant having a minimum of five forwards and a goalie. After canceling their morning skate Saturday, the Finns took the ice six hours later with a full 22-player contingent.
Goalie Sanni Ahola stopped 44 shots overall and kept the Finns in the game through a first period in which she stopped 14 of 15 shots. Carpenter was the only one who beat her, scoring with a one-timer from the slot on a power-play goal with just under five minutes left in the period.
Vance was seated next to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena.
Vance and his family entered during the intermission at the end of the first period, with the U.S. leading 1-0. Paul joined them shortly after. Paul’s fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is a speedskater and is competing for her native Netherlands at the Winter Games.
U.S. Second Lady Usha Vance, wore a sweatshirt with "USA" in big letters.
Among those also seated near Vance were 2010 Olympic figure skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek and hockey’s twin sisters, Hall of Famers Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando. They were members of the U.S. gold medal-winning team at the 2018 Winter Games.

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova reveals dark side of fashion industry that preyed on her at 15
Paulina Porizkova is exposing some dark secrets of the high-fashion world, claiming that her rise to superstardom was paved with uncomfortable encounters.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit legend, now 60, detailed the normalization of sexual harassment she allegedly faced as a teenager, saying the very people tasked with managing her career often sent her into compromising situations.
"I started modeling at 15 in Paris on a summer break from school," Porizkova shared in a video clip posted to Instagram. "And every day I was sent on four to 10 so-called ‘go-and-sees.’ You go, and they see — all over the city — by myself, with no knowledge of the language or the city."
PRINCESS SOFIA OF SWEDEN MET JEFFREY EPSTEIN A FEW TIMES BUT DENIES ANY TIES, PALACE SAYS
The Czechoslovakia-born model explained that while some meetings were professional, many others were far from it.
"Sometimes the people I was seeing were well-dressed and in offices, and sometimes they were middle-aged guys in messy apartments who just wanted to take a few casual photos of me — you know, preferably topless," she said. "I've lost count of the amount of men in open bathrobes who greeted me in their hotel rooms or apartments where I have been sent by an agency or clients."
Porizkova, who made history in 1984 as the first Central European woman to land a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, noted that the advances were not limited to messy apartments.
She recalled well-dressed older men frequently inviting her to parties, yachts and tropical villas.
For years, the supermodel believed these encounters were simply part of the paycheck.
"I took it all for granted," Porizkova admitted. "That my job was to take my clothes off, put my clothes back on, and then learn how to creatively fend off horny men so that you don’t offend them and lose a job."

It wasn’t until the 1990s, while watching a segment on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show about sexual harassment in the workplace, that she realized her own experiences qualified as harassment.

"I looked at my girlfriend and said, ‘That’s sexual harassment? I thought that was compliments,’" she recalled.
Reflecting on her vulnerability as a child in a high-stakes industry, the "No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful" author emphasized how easily children can be manipulated by those in power.
"When you take a child, and you put them in any situation, that child will adapt. If an adult tells you that this is how it’s supposed to be, well, then who are you, the child, to protest? And this makes the child the easiest target," she said. "And if you’re unsure of how old exactly a child is to be a child, well, then you either don’t have one or you don’t have the humanity to remember being one."
The supermodel captioned her social media post with the hashtags "#Epstein," "#EpsteinFiles" and "#Justice."
Porizkova’s illustrious career includes serving as the face of Estée Lauder and appearing as a judge on "America’s Next Top Model" alongside Tyra Banks. Over a 41-year career, she has appeared in 11 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues.
She has also transitioned into a successful writing career, releasing her debut novel, "A Model Summer," in 2007 and her candid nonfiction book in 2022, "No Filter."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Porizkova for comment.
Bad Bunny walks back comment that fans should learn Spanish ahead of Super Bowl halftime performance
Bad Bunny is backing down from a comment he made in October, saying that critics of his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance needed to learn Spanish.
"I’m really excited to be doing the Super Bowl. I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy," he said on "Saturday Night Live," before teasing his critics in Spanish.
"If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."

But this week, during an appearance in San Francisco's Moscone Center, Bad Bunny said learning Spanish was not necessary.
"I know I told them they had four months to learn Spanish — they don't even have to learn Spanish. They (can) learn to dance," Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, said to a jam-packed crowd.
RAMS' PUKA NACUA REACTS TO MATTHEW STAFFORD'S MVP, 2026 RETURN: 'I ALMOST DID A BACKFLIP'
Bad Bunny, who has been Spotify’s most-streamed artist four times in the last six years, got the nod in September. His 2022 album, "Un Verano Sin Ti," is the app’s most-streamed album of all time, and he has more than 51 million followers on Instagram.
The artist received both praise and backlash for his "ICE out" comments at the Grammys earlier this week. Bad Bunny said last fall he decided to do his residency show in his native Puerto Rico and didn't book any U.S. dates on his tour over fears his fans would be detained by ICE agents.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said he will avoid Bad Bunny's performance in the "Woke Bowl."
"And we’ve got Bad Bunny, or Bad Rabbit, at halftime. I'll be watching the (Turning Point USA) halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."

49ers' Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy talk up division rival Seahawks before Super Bowl: 'Hell of a team'
The assumption before the season was that the Seattle Seahawks would be on the outside looking in at the Super Bowl, but just about everyone was wrong.
The team's offseason included a major overhaul, trading away Geno Smith, signing Sam Darnold, and even letting DK Metcalf go to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Those moves turned out to be for the better, as they clinched the NFC's top seed with a 14-3 record and are now one win away from their first title in 12 years.

The Seahawks dismantled their division rival, the San Francisco 49ers, in Week 18 to clinch the top seed and then did so again two weeks later in the divisional round.
"They're a hell of a team. You know, they beat us in both those games. They definitely had our number in both those games. We had to play better, we needed to limit our mistakes," Christian McCaffrey told Fox News Digital on Radio Row.
"They're a really well-coached team. Obviously, they got talent across the board, their defense is good, Sam leading the offense with Klint Kubiak," added Brock Purdy. "They've done a really good job, man. They've earned it. They're a team that we have to obviously be ready for every single week, or every time we play them. Across the board, a really good team."
CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY REFLECTS ON 2025 SUCCESS AFTER INJURY-PLAGUED 2024 SEASON: 'JUST THANK GOD'
McCaffrey, though, said the Niners weren't exactly given the benefit of the doubt against the juggernaut with some schedule craziness.
"I don't want to make excuses, but the NFL did put us on three short weeks at the end of a season when we had a Week 14 bye. So they didn't do us any favors in that," McCaffrey said. "When you have so many injuries and you're kind of decimated already, and then you put a team like that on short weeks, it makes it more challenging.
"But at the same time, those guys beat us, they beat us in every facet of the game. And if we want to win, we got to play better. Simple as that."
Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards while catching 119 passes, 10 for touchdowns. Darnold also became the only quarterback to win 14 or more games for two different teams in back-to-back seasons.
They'll face the New England Patriots in Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium, where McCaffrey and Purdy call home, on Sunday.

3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold dead at 47
Brad Arnold, the lead singer and founding member of the popular rock band 3 Doors Down, has died following a battle with cancer. He was 47.
According to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Arnold "passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer," on Saturday, Feb. 7.
"As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners," the statement read.
The statement went on to praise Arnold's songwriting, which "became a cultural touchstone for a generation."
The band's breakout hit, "Kryptonite," was written by Arnold "in his math class when he was just 15 years old," the statement said. "His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on."
"Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends."
The statement concluded by expressing how "deeply grateful" his family is "for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time," and asked for privacy.
"He will be deeply missed and forever remembered," the statement ended.

The band also shared the statement on X, with many fans sharing their heartbreak in the comment sections.
"What a loss but we are very fortunate to have had Brad and y'all's music grace our lives. Prayers to Brad's family and the band," one fan wrote, while another added, "There will never be another soothing voice as his.. 3 Doors Down music is one of the greatest! Prayers for his family at this time."
Arnold first announced he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in May 2025. He posted a video on Instagram in which he told his fans, "I've got some not-so-good news for you today."
The Mississippi native explained that he got checked out at a hospital after feeling sick a couple of weeks before, which was when doctors diagnosed him with clear cell renal cell carcinoma "that had metastasized into my lung."

Later in the video, he assured his fans that he isn't afraid of the diagnosis, but added that they would have to force them to cancel all upcoming performances for their tour at the time.
"Thank you for all the memories so far. Now, I believe ‘ITS NOT MY TIME’ is really my song," he wrote in the caption of the video. "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!"
3 Doors Down was founded in 1996 by Arnold and his bandmates Todd Harrell and Matt Roberts while they were still in high school. Their debut album, "The Better Life," was released in 2000 and was a huge success, and featured many of their hits, including "Kryptonite," "Loser" and "Be Like That."
