Looking back at the past doesn't always conjure up fond memories, and during a recent interview Gwen Stefani admitted that she "can't listen to a lot of the songs" she wrote with No Doubt ābecause they speak so clearlyā to her now.
āAnd itās like you have regret and mistakes youāve made. Most of the songs are about that,ā she explained. āIf I do [2000 single] āEx-Girlfriendā even when I say it, I almost throw up in my mouth becauseā¦ itās just like, āOh my God.ā It just brings you right back.ā
The song is featured on No Doubt's fourth album Return to Saturn and was written about Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, who Stefani was married to from 2002-2015.
When No Doubt reunites in April for Coachella, Stefani will be singing those songs. But in a live setting, the experience is different.
āThere are lots of times when youād be on tour doing the repetitive songs, but itās not the songs. Youāre not in the songs. Youāre there with these new people every night and theyāre receiving the songs," she divulged. "So thatās where you get the energy and you relive that moment with them.ā
Although the reunion news is exciting for fans, it's looking unlikely that No Doubt are planning a full-fledged tour.
No Doubt isn't the only '90s band to reunite at Coachella.Ā Sublime is also getting back together, with late frontman Bradley Nowell's son Jakob on vocals. Coachella is set to go down April 12-14 and April 19-21 at Empire Polo ClubĀ in Indio, CA.Ā See the full lineup here.
