Gwen Stefani says getting back together with No Doubt came with some complications, plus she reveals mommy woes in a candid new interview.
In a new Elle magazine, the rocker turned pop star admits to some conflict when she got back together with her band, No Doubt.
“Everybody’s making it like there’s all this tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they’re jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that,” she says. The band attempted to write a new record before going on tour, but were unable to come up with new material. Things came to a head one day when they were recording a cover of Adam and the Ants’ “Stand and Deliver.” She and bass player Tony Kanal got into “a heated conversation” over the track.
“But some fights aren’t really what they seem,” Gwen says. “I think it was a little about the song, and a little about our coming back together. There was this little air bubble that needed to pop, you know?”
At home, the singer faces other challenges with being a mom. “It’s one thing when you have an infant,” she says. “but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, ‘Mommy, what’s the deal?!’ it’s harder. Kingston’s whole thing is, ‘I need, I need.’ He is insane right now. We’re just hoping for the best and that he’s not going to turn out to be a freak, but we’ll see.”
The new issue of Elle is on stands June 15th.
