One of the things I’ve learned is to be present in the moment and try to absorb what’s happening around me instead of looking ahead.”Stefani added: “[Coachella is] going to be a really nice bow to tie on the relationship, because we were kids [when we met].“I already know what it’s going to feel like because we’re just so in sync when we’re onstage.

It’s going to feel like riding a bike again. We’re going to be laughing, and we’re going to look at each other and go, ‘Oh my gosh — there you are’.”A post shared by No Doubt (@nodoubt)The singer said No Doubt’s live comeback had been “a long time coming”, explaining: “It’s been something that we were going to do.”However, Stefani told the outlet that making new music with the band would mean “leaving [her] family”.She continued: “And if I didn’t come home with a song, I’d be like, ‘Oh my God, I’m such a loser – I didn’t have dinner with my family, and I didn’t write a song.
