Career

He was born Robert Todd Harrell on February 13, 1972, in Escatawpa, Mississippi.

In 1996, Harrell, Brad Arnold, and Matt Roberts formed 3 Doors Down. The band name was inspired by a sign they saw in Foley, Alabama, that was missing some letters and read "Doors Down," and they added the number 3 because that's how many band members there were at the time. They began recording songs in 1997 and released a self-titled CD later that year. The Mississippi radio station WCPR-FM started playing the demo of the song "Kryptonite," and it was the station's most frequently requested song for 15 weeks. In 1998, Chris Henderson joined the band, and after they performed at a showcase at New York's famed club CBGB, they were signed by Universal Records. The band released their major label debut, "The Better Life," in 2000, and it reached #7 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified 7× Platinum in the U.S., 2× Platinum in Canada, and Platinum in Australia and New Zealand. The album featured the singles "Kryptonite," "Loser," " Duck and Run," and "Be Like That," and all of them except "Be Like That" topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. "Loser" and "Be Like That" went Platinum in the U.S., and "Kryptonite" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 8× Platinum in the U.S., 5× Platinum in New Zealand, and Platinum in Australia, Denmark, Germany, and the U.K.

The band followed "The Better Life" with 2002's "Away from the Sun," which reached #2 on the Danish Albums chart and #8 on the Billboard 200 chart and Australian Albums chart. The album was certified 4× Platinum in the U.S. and Platinum in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The singles "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You" were top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went 3× Platinum and 6× Platinum, respectively, in the U.S. "Here Without You" was also certified 3× Platinum in New Zealand and Platinum in Australia. Next, 3 Doors Down released the 2005 Platinum album "Seventeen Days," which was their first album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Their 2008 self-titled album also topped the Billboard 200 chart and went Platinum. "Let Me Go" from "Seventeen Days" reached the top 10 on the Billboard Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Mainstream Rock charts, and "It's Not My Time" from "3 Doors Down" reached #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Adult Pop Airplay charts. Harrell's final album with the band was 2011's "Time of My Life," which reached the top 10 in five countries. The single "When You're Young" peaked at #9 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Todd was suspended from the band after his 2013 arrest for vehicular homicide, and after a 2014 DUI arrest, they formally kicked him out of the group.

Personal Life

In 2013, Harrell was under the influence when he was speeding down the interstate in Tennessee and clipped the back of a pickup. The driver of the truck, 47-year-old Paul Shoulders Jr., was killed. At the time of the crash, Todd had oxycodone and alprazolam in his system, and he was arrested on a charge of vehicular homicide by intoxication. After his trial ended in December 2015, he served two years in prison for the offense. In October 2018, Harrell was sentenced to 10 years in a Mississippi prison for domestic violence/simple assault and possession of a firearm by a felon. In June 2018, police had visited his home, responding to a call from his wife, Robin, about a domestic violence incident, and while searching the home, they found drugs and weapons. The 10-year sentence was the maximum penalty. In August 2018, Robin was charged with introducing a controlled substance into a correctional facility after she mailed Todd a package containing Suboxone, which is used to treat opiate addiction.
