No Doubt's Tom Dumont Diagnosed With Early Onset Parkinson's

"A number of years ago I was experiencing a number of symptoms. 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. It's been a struggle, it's a struggle every day."

"The last couple months, getting ready for the No Doubt Sphere shows, it's been very fun. Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing and creating all the video stuff for the Sphere. 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."

"The good news is I can still play music, I can still play guitar. I've been doing really well."

"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, and awareness is really important for prevention and for research."
