Adrian Young

Just days ahead of No Doubt's much-anticipated reunion at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival, Gwen Stefani is expressing some doubt over how she balanced her work and home life after starting a family. In a new interview with Nylon , the singer-songwriter opened up about how things all changed when she and ex-husband Gavin Rossdale expanded their family and welcomed the first of three sons in 2006. Around that time she had a second hit solo album, and subsequent tours, as well as her L.A.M.B. fashion line that she was trying to get off the ground. And then there was her band, which put her on the musical landscape that was itching to get back out with more music and shows. Stefani admits now, with hindsight, that she 'should have just been with' her sons - Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10 - instead of focusing on her career The singer-songwriter now sees that she was 'trying to please' her No Doubt bandmates, Tom Dumont (guitar), Tony Kanal (bass) and Adrian Young (drums) by fitting it all into her calendar, which in the ends sounds as if it was all too much at once.
