No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease “a few years ago”.
The musician shared a “personal update” with his Instagram followers on Saturday, declaring in the caption that he was “doing well.”
The 58-year-old spoke at length about his health issues in a video shot from his home.
“I went to the doctor, went to the neurologist, ran a bunch of tests, and was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease,” he recalled in the upload. “It’s been a tough day. Every day is tough.”
Confirming that the band is planning a Las Vegas residency, Dumont said it was “good news”: “We can still play music.”
He added, “I can still play the guitar. I’m very good at it.”
“I’ve just been so inspired by other people who have come out and talked about their health issues on social media and elsewhere,” Dumont said of why he decided to share.
“I think this will help remove some of the stigma and will obviously raise awareness,” he continued. “And awareness is so important for prevention and research.”
Elsewhere in the video, Dumont gushes about how “fun” it is to prepare for his Sphere residency, which opens in Sin City on May 6th, with singer Gwen Stefani, drummer Adrian Young, and bassist Tony Canal.
“Watching old footage, looking at old photos, relearning and rehearsing old songs…it made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve led as a musician over the years,” he said.
Dumont concluded, “I’m really excited about the show. I can’t wait to see everyone.”
His fellow No Doubt band members shared supportive comments over the weekend.
Young, 56, wrote, “I love you my friend, bandmate, and hero, brother,” while Canal, 55, commented, “I love you more than words can describe, my friend. I can’t wait to get back on stage with you.”
Trombonist, keyboardist, and backing vocalist Gabriel McNair wrote, “You are such a beautiful soul, Tom!! I love you so much and can’t wait to get on stage with you!! LFG!!”
The band was formed in 1986 and went on a number of hiatuses as Stefani, 56, pursued a solo career.
They reunited for the first time in nearly a decade at a Coachella 2024 performance, and their most recent show together was at the FireAid LA benefit concert in January 2025.
