Gwen Stefani Reunites with No Doubt for Coachella Performance
GWEN Stefani has reunited with her old band, No Doubt, and posted a photo of the group rehearsing for their upcoming performance at Coachella. The singer and her country star husband, Blake Shelton, 47, have been busy as Blake announced a new concert date earlier this week on his Back To The Honky Tonk Tour.
On Wednesday, Gwen, 54, shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories from band practice, capturing the rockstar sitting in front of a drum set with No Doubt in funky lettering on it. She sported black and gray plaid shorts, black stockings, a white crop top, and a green button-down shirt. The Spiderwebs singer accessorized with multiple statement necklaces and rings, with a full face of makeup and her blond locks in a tight high bun. Gwen didn’t include a caption but teased in her next Story post that she was at band rehearsal.
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
The Grammy Award winner revealed months earlier that No Doubt was getting back together to perform at the Indo, California music festival in April. It has been nearly a decade since the band last performed live, and Gwen has pursued a solo career and other endeavors.
Fans couldn’t hold back their excitement about the news on social media. “Oh my God. Now why was I just asking for a No Doubt reunion a month ago? Did I manifest this?” one fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I’m in tears! I love you guys so much please go on tour,” a second gushed. “I was just about to go to sleep!!! Going straight down a No Doubt rabbit hole. I never thought it would happen. I’m buzzing! Welcome Back!” said a third.
“What a tease. At last! The return of No Doubt! Yes!” a fourth remarked. “I’ve waited so long for this day! So excited for you guys! Soooo going to be there, love you, guys,” wrote a fifth. Meanwhile, Blake is also bulking up his schedule and extending his time away on tour.
In an Instagram post, the God’s Country singer revealed he’s playing a new show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “Moline & Wichita y’all ready to go #BackToTheHonkyTonk this week?! Then Tulsa… get ready for a very VERY special All For The Hall!!!! Come on!!!!” Blake wrote, alongside a highlight reel from the tour.
The event isn’t a part of the main tour but is a benefit concert titled Oklahoma is All for the Hall to aid The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It will take place on March 30, one day after Blake’s tour wraps in Wichita, Kansas. The Voice alum kicked off his tour on February 22 and seemed excited for its end in a recent post. In a video shared by Gwen earlier in the week, Blake was filmed approaching his wife as he exclaimed, “One weekend left!”
ON THE ROCKS
Rumors have been swirling that Blake and Gwen are having marriage problems as they’ve continued to work on more projects away from each other. Chatter surrounding the fate of their relationship began in December when Gwen revealed she and Blake weren’t spending New Year’s Eve together.
The Hollaback Girl singer spent the holiday hosting an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, while Blake performed in Nashville, Tennessee. According to Life & Style, Blake was “really upset” that the couple weren’t ringing in the New Year together. Their source also claimed they were going through a rough patch, saying, “Gwen and Blake’s marriage is definitely in trouble.”
The pair attempted to squash rumors last month when they released their new song collab, Purple Irises. Gwen has also appeared at several of Blake’s concerts to perform the track on stage.
