“It’s a struggle every day … The good news is, I can still play music, I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”<\/p>\n

Dumont added that he’s been inspired by other people publicly sharing their health challenges on social media.<\/p>\n

“I think it helps erase some of the stigma, and it raises awareness, obviously, and awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”<\/p>\n

The guitarist’s post has attracted plenty of supportive comments, including from his No Doubt bandmates and fellow music industry legends.<\/p>\n

“Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again\ufeff,” the band’s bassist Tony Kanal wrote, while drummer Gabrial McNair wrote, “My friend, bandmate, and hero\u2026\u2026I love you brother.”<\/p>\n

Per the World Health Organisation, Parkinson disease is a brain condition that causes problems with movement, mental health, sleep, pain and other health issues.<\/p>\n

The condition gets worse over time and there is no cure, but therapies and medicines can reduce symptoms, which include tremors, painful muscle contractions and difficulty speaking.<\/p>\n

Other stars who’ve spoken openly about their Parkinson’s disease experiences include Michael J Fox, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Connelly and Alan Alda.<\/p>\n

Next month, Dumont will join his No Doubt bandmates, including frontwoman Gwen Stefani, in the band’s \ufeff18-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

“And it’s thanks to our families and our friends and listeners and you and everyone who’s come out to shows over the years.”<\/p>\n
