Holla Back
No Doubt are touring Singapore and Gwen Stefani told the press that parenthood played a large part in it taking her so long to get the band back together.
“I had two babies,” she explained. “There’s nothing you can do to rush that. It just takes as long as it is going to take.
“During that time off I did my own records and toured a little bit but we got No Doubt back together as fast as we could.
“When I got pregnant with Zuma, we started writing again and went into the studio for six months.
“We tried to write a record and it wasn’t really coming out, so, after I had the baby, I suggested going out on tour.”
Guitarist Tom Dumont said: “It is a little mellower, it’s a different kind of wild. It’s three-year-olds running around and screaming and fighting.
“Our kids are an extension of us.
“It’s weird to see them playing together as friends. It’s fun actually.
“Like Gwen I have two boys – a one-year-old and a three-year-old.”
Tony added: “We just finished a tour of the States. Normally we have a backstage room for after-show parties. Now that’s a room for the kids to hang out with the nannies.”
