Gwen Stefani, the iconic voice behind hits like “Don’t Speak” and “Hollaback Girl,” found herself in a unique position recently: Giving her 10-year-old son Apollo a crash course in music history on her band No Doubt.
As the buzz surrounding her upcoming gig at Coachella intensified, Apollo couldn’t help but wonder what all the fuss was about.
Gwen Stefani just educated her son on No Doubt
Gwen shared the comical moment when Apollo was puzzled over the significance of Coachella.
“What is this? It sounds like it’s a big deal,” he queried.
Thus began Gwen’s impromptu lesson, where she found herself cuddled up in bed, revisiting the “Don’t Speak” video with her curious son.
As they delved into the history of No Doubt, Apollo’s innocent curiosity led to amusing questions.
“But wait, which one was your boyfriend?” he inquired, prompting Gwen to recount her history with ex-boyfriend and bandmate Tony Kanal.
Reunion at Coachella
The impending Coachella reunion marks a significant milestone for No Doubt, heralding their return to the stage after more than a decade.
“It just happened so fast, and that’s my favorite kind of thing to happen,” Gwen told People. “And I think really just watching the internet blow up [with] how excited that the fans are? It’s inspiring us.”
The band, which rose to fame in the 1990s with Gwen as its breakout star, remains a celebrated emblem of ’90s pop culture.
For Gwen, the journey with No Doubt has been a rollercoaster of creative highs and personal evolution.
While she embarked on a successful solo career, releasing four albums since 2004, her roots with No Doubt run deep, embodying a chapter of musical history cherished by fans worldwide.
Despite previous hesitations about a No Doubt reunion, she acknowledges the magic that sparks when their creative forces join each other.
“When Tony (Kanal) and I are connected creatively, it’s magic,” Gwen told Rolling Stones in 2016.
As Gwen prepares to grace the Coachella stage once again, her journey with No Doubt serves as a testament to the enduring power of music.
And for Apollo, it’s not just a history lesson—it’s a glimpse into his mother’s legendary career.
