Tom Dumont, longtime guitarist for No Doubt, has revealed he is living with early-onset Parkinson’s disease, opening up just weeks before the band’s upcoming Las Vegas residency at the Sphere.

In a video posted to Instagram, the 58-year-old explained that he first noticed symptoms several years ago, prompting visits to his doctor and a neurologist. After undergoing multiple tests, he received the diagnosis. “It’s been a struggle,” he said. “It’s a struggle every day, and I’ll make another video with details about what Parkinson’s entails. The good news is I can still play music, I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”

Despite the challenges, Dumont emphasized that he remains active musically and plans to perform with the band during their run at the Sphere in Las Vegas, scheduled from May 6 through June 13. Frontwoman Gwen Stefani is set to headline the shows alongside bandmates Adrian Young and Tony Kanal.

Dumont said he was motivated to go public by others who have shared their own health journeys. “I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media,” he explained, adding that openness can help reduce stigma and boost awareness, which is vital for research and prevention. He also reflected on the band’s long history, saying that revisiting old songs and footage while preparing for the residency has been especially meaningful. It’s reminded him, he said, of how grateful he is for his career and the experiences he’s had over the years.

Formed in 1986, No Doubt has reunited in recent years following periods of hiatus, including a return for Coachella 2024 and a performance at the FireAid LA benefit concert in early 2025.

Alternative punk rock band Rise Against have dropped the music video for their track “Damage Is Done” off their latest album Ricochet, streaming now.

Frontman Tim McIlrath shares of the song that “Damage is done is about how hurt is not something that can be reversed, so we can either grow from it or let it unravel us.”

This live performance of ‘Damage Is Done’ is the second video put out as part of ‘The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together),’ a fan-driven creative initiative celebrating community, collaboration, and expression. Late last year, Rise Against invited dozens of dedicated fans to help shape a new visual world for Ricochet by creating original posters to serve as the backdrop in these new music videos. As the band performed standout tracks off the album, fans were featured alongside them and their artwork that was inspired by the record’s lyrics, themes, and emotional urgency.

In other news, Rise Against also just kicked off their headlining North American Tour last month, with special guest Destroy Boys. The band is also set to perform at the upcoming ‘Welcome to Rockville’ and ‘Sonic Temple Art & Music’ festivals. Head HERE for more information.

Jack White is making an unexpected return to the desert, joining the first weekend of Coachella 2026 as a last-minute addition. He’s scheduled to play a 45-minute set on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. on the Mojave stage—a slot that has recently become known for unannounced appearances. That same stage and time have hosted surprise performances in past years from artists like Weezer, blink-182, Arcade Fire, and Ed Sheeran, making White’s inclusion part of a growing festival tradition.

White is no stranger to Coachella — he first appeared with The White Stripes in 2003 and later returned as a solo headliner in 2015. His latest booking adds to an already stacked Saturday lineup, which also features The Strokes performing later that evening. This year’s festival is led by headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G, alongside a wide mix of other acts.

Outside the festival buzz, White has been active on the media circuit. He recently stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and officially kicked off his next chapter with the release of two new tracks, “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico,” marking his first material since 2024’s No Name. The release coincided with White’s return to Saturday Night Live, where he took the stage as musical guest for the sixth time, appear alongside host Jack Black, with whom he’s previously collaborated.

The self-produced songs were recorded alongside his current band—drummer Patrick Keeler, bassist Dominic Davis, and keyboardist Bobby Emmett—and lean into his signature blues-rock sound. Both tracks are now available on streaming platforms, with a physical release arriving as a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl. Special tri-color and black pressings will be sold through Third Man Records locations in Nashville, Detroit, and London, as well as online, while standard black vinyl will roll out to independent record stores worldwide shortly after.

Peter Gabriel has released “What Lies Ahead,” the third preview from his forthcoming album o/i. The track arrives in its Bright-Side Mix, crafted by Mark “Spike” Stent, with a Dark-Side Mix of “Put the Bucket Down” by Tchad Blake set to follow.

Opening with hushed choral voices, “What Lies Ahead” unfolds gradually into a contemplative, string-laden piece that feels both intimate and expansive. Gabriel first introduced the song instrumentally during his “Back to Front” tour, performing it as a work in progress without lyrics. Its foundation came from a melody created by his son Isaac. Gabriel later expanded that idea, incorporating contributions from Swedish artists Jennie Abrahamson and cellist Linnea Olsson, whose earlier live cello line made its way onto the finished recording. Orchestral textures were added in 2022 by longtime collaborator John Metcalfe.

A key element of the track is the Swedish male choir Orphei Drängar, whose powerful harmonies set the tone from the outset — an idea encouraged by Brian Eno. Gabriel explained his thinking behind the choice: “I’ve always liked spiritual, inspirational music because sometimes people get to a different place when they remove themselves and are just present with this feeling of something else out there. Although I’m not religious myself, I definitely have the feeling for it and that’s what I was hoping we would have with the choir at the front, that you go straight away into this other world.”

The full details of o/i are still to come; the album follows 2023’s i/o, Gabriel’s first studio release in over a decade.
