He says going public aims to reduce stigma around Parkinson’s.

Overview

  • In an Instagram video on Saturday, the 58-year-old said doctors diagnosed early-onset Parkinson’s after years of symptoms and tests.
  • He described daily struggles with the condition and confirmed he can still play guitar as No Doubt’s 18-show Sphere residency opens May 6.
