It's been nearly 5 years since No Doubt performed on stage together. However, both Billboard and No Doubt's official website recently announced the return of No Doubt on tour in 2009- so expect No Doubt tickets to sell out in record time!

Famous for their third wave ska and punk style, No Doubt carried on a legacy that made Fishbone and The Toasters so innovative. So if you've never seen a No Doubt concert then you don't know what you're missing!

Gwen Stefani has led an eventful life, and seems always to have enjoyed music, especially the ska which her brother Eric exposed her to at a crucial time in her development as a musician. But let's go back to the very beginning, and catch a glimpse of where Gwen actually comes from...

Stefani was born in Orange County, California. Her father Denis is Italian and her mother Patti is of English and Scottish descent. She has a sister, Jill and two brothers, Eric and Todd. She attended Cal State Fullerton, and in high school she was on the swimming team because she was chubby. Her first job was scrubbing floors at a Dairy Queen and she once worked at a department store. Her brother Eric founded No Doubt in 1986 with his friend John Spence, but eventually left the band to pursue a career in animation on The Simpsons. He was the keyboardist for No Doubt. Gwen became the group's lead singer after original frontman John Spence committed suicide in December of 1987.
