No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease “a number of years ago.”

“I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease,” he recalled in the upload. “It’s been a struggle. It’s a struggle every day.”

Acknowledging the band’s upcoming Las Vegas residency, Dumont noted “the good news” — he can “still play music.”

He added, “I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”

As for why he chose to share, Dumont explained, “I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media, and that sort of thing.”

“I think it helps erase some of the stigma, and it raises awareness obviously,” he continued. “And awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”

Dumont, elsewhere in the video, gushed about how much “fun” it has been preparing for the Sphere residency, which kicks off in Sin City on May 6, with singer Gwen Stefani, drummer Adrian Young and bassist Tony Kanal.

“Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing … it’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead as a musician all these years,” he said.

Dumont concluded, “I’m really excited about the shows, can’t wait to see everybody.”

His fellow No Doubt band members shared supportive comments over the weekend.

“My friend, bandmate, and hero, I love you brother,” Young, 56, wrote, while Kanal, 55, commented, “Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again.”

Trombonist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Gabrial McNair, for his part, wrote, “You are such a beautiful soul, Tom!! I love you so much and can’t wait get on stage with you!! LFG!!”

The band formed in 1986 and have gone on hiatus multiple times as Stefani, 56, pursued a solo career.

They reunited in for a Coachella 2024 performance after nearly a decade apart, and their most recent show together was at the FireAid LA benefit concert in January 2025.
