Gwen Stefani first heard of No Doubt members’ new band with AFI singer on the internet
Gwen Stefani, leader of the classic band No Doubt, first found about her band members’ new side project with AFI’s Davey Havok on the internet. Stefani was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last Wednesday, where she was asked about Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal and Adrian Young’s new venture with Havok.

“I actually first heard about [the new project] on the internet,” Stefani says. She goes on to confirm the band is in fact a side project and that she hasn’t been replaced or anything. “They want to be in a punk band. It's not No Doubt. All the guys from No Doubt are doing a new band, just to do new music,” she says.
The Havok-plus-No-Doubt-minus-Stefani side project apparently already have a record deal and a record completed.

Stefani added that if she wanted to rejoin her bandmates, she would “have to text Tony [Kanal] and ask him that. There probably would be a vote.”
After forming in 1986, No Doubt reconvened after some dormancy last year to play a string of shows. The band’s latest album, Push And Shove, was released in 2012. Stefani is gearing up to drop her solo follow-up to 2006’s The Sweet Escape, titled This Is What The Truth Feels Like.
