Gwen Stefani celebrates the 27th anniversary of No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom with Throwback
Gwen Stefani remembers the good old days.
The Gwen Stefani 53-year-old voice coach shared a stunning comeback photo of his band No Doubt, celebrating the release of their chart-topping album Tragic Kingdom, released 27 years ago on Monday.
“Tragic Empire fell 27 years ago?! No way. Thanks for the reminder @tonykanal gx,” Stefani captioned a photo of herself in her signature blonde locks and bright lipstick with bandmates Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal, and Adrian Younge. Sharing the same photo earlier in the day, the 52-year-old channel wrote: “Back in a galaxy far, far away… Our tragic empire was liberated 27 years ago on that day.”
Stefani recently admitted that she was “flattered” to have contestants in a singing competition sing her songs when she appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Friday and said she was honored. It can get a little weird.” I’m very happy, but John Legend is known for not pressing a button when someone plays one of his songs. And we were like, ‘John, you need to push your buttons.
They’re playing your song!” Stephanie said of her co-coach. “I think she’s too businesslike and overwhelmed.”
He added: “But people made mine. I can’t say when because it’s not out yet, but I know someone did Awesome one season, and I wasn’t in that season, and Blake [Shelton] was like, ‘Oh my God, he made your song!” It’s a really weird version of him, and it’s amazing. They always cover the show.” There’s just one catch: “I love hearing them do it; sometimes I feel like that because it’s so personal, the lyrics are, and then when they do all these fancy vocals, I’m like, ‘I’m going to be like, ‘Oh… weird,'” he said.
However, Stephanie clarified that she ended up finding him “flattered.”
