""It's been a struggle, it's a struggle every day," Dumont said of his diagnosis. Parkinson's disease is a nervous system disorder that affects movement, and can grow over time to include general tremors, mobility issues and slurred speech."
""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," Dumont said. "And it's thanks to our families and our friends and listeners, and you, and everyone who's come to our shows over the years.""
Tom Dumont, a founding member of No Doubt, announced his early onset Parkinson's disease diagnosis in an Instagram video. He began experiencing symptoms years ago and confirmed the diagnosis after extensive testing. Dumont described the daily struggles associated with the disease, which affects movement and has no cure. Despite his condition, he expressed gratitude for his life as a musician and the support from family, friends, and fans. No Doubt is set to begin a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas in May, focusing on the show's historical and visual elements.
