Gwen Stefani on the Upside of Less Sleep
 GSI Media |
Historically, Gwen Stefani‘s favorite aspect of touring with No Doubt was the ability to snooze the entire day away while awaiting their next show. That’s all about to change, of course, as No Doubt has embarked on a summer tour with the kids — Gwen’s sons Kingston James McGregor, 3 this month, and Zuma Nesta Rock, 8 months, Tom Dumont‘s sons Ace Joseph, 3, and Rio Atticus, 11 months, and Adrian Young‘s son Mason James, 7 — in tow.
“I think we’re gonna sleep a lot less than we ever have,” Gwen concedes. “We get to see a lot more of the country, though, [because] we’re actually leaving the hotel room.” Drummer Adrian is putting his own positive spin on the band’s new look. He jokes,
“We have a bet about the nannies. Who can score the most nannies within the band? We haven’t started it yet, but I’ll make some predictions when we’re off camera.”
Returning to the stage has been cathartic for Gwen, who plans to continue writing songs while she’s on tour. It’s a process the 39-year-old songstress likens to childbirth. “It is like having a baby, in a way, because it’s something that’s there permanently, that you created and comes through you and…I think that’s what we’re all aiming towards.”
Kingston and Zuma are Gwen’s children with husband Gavin Rossdale.
