Gwen Stefani tickets offer music lovers an opportunity to see a musical star who offers style, glamour, a top-notch stage show and true, classic rock and roll and pop. Stefani, as is typical with emerging musical icons, started humbly and worked her way up to become the star that she is today, and a look at her life and career provides interesting insight into the making of a soon-to-be legend.

Early Life

Stefani was born in Fullerton, California on October 3, 1969 and grew up in Anaheim, an Orange County community just down the road. She was raised in a stable home by her mother and father, and enjoyed what many would consider a “normal” childhood with her two brothers.

Stefani had always loved music, and became particularly enthralled with the punk and ska genres that were popular in Southern California at the time. She always had an effervescent personality, and would spend her days singing and dancing along to her favorite songs at home and with her brothers and friends.

As she moved into her teen-age years, Stefani joined a band named No Doubt that her brother Eric had started in 1987. She was no stranger to low-level work, though, as she spent time scrubbing floors at the local Dairy Queen and working the makeup counter at a local department store. She juggled her new band, where she was the co-lead vocalist, her jobs and her education, as she graduated from high school and enrolled at Cal State Fullerton to pursue her degree.

Tragedy

Stefani’s life has been touched with periodic trouble, and her first ordeal was thrown in front of her in 1987, just as No Doubt was getting started, when her vocalist partner, John Spence committed suicide. The band did not disband, but rather moved Stefani into the lead vocalist role by herself. No Doubt also added new members, including Tony Kanal, with whom Stefani would traverse through a long-term and turbulent romantic relationship.

Band Progress

As the band played on, their live shows became a big attraction in the local area, and it wasn’t long before Gwen Stefani tickets were a hot item on the club scene, as she was by far the most recognizable face in the band. They were making a name for themselves slowly-but-surely, and their big break came in 1990 when Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded a demo for them that led to their first major recording contract.

Their first two albums did not sell well, but they did build familiarity with No Doubt’s sound, and that set the stage for their big commercial breakthrough in 1995, when Tragic Kingdom was released, and it reached the top of the album charts. Since then, No Doubt has released two additional albums, both of which climbed into the top ten on the charts.

Solo Career/Personal Growth

Although Stefani technically remains a member of No Doubt, she has also released two solo albums, the first coming in 2004 and the second in 2006. She has managed to work her solo work seamlessly into her ongoing work with the band and her ever-expanding personal interests, which include a son with her husband, Gavin Rossdale of the band Bush. Stefani is happily married after finally ending her troubled relationship with Karal, and her star continues to shine on several fronts.

If you want to see a truly multi-faceted star who’s known for her engaging and energetic shows, Gwen Stefani tickets will introduce you to an artist who is grounded, satisfied and ready to provide an evening to remember for her fans.

Gwen Stefani calls her weight struggle ‘a nightmare’. She has revealed that she’s being dieting since she was in grade 6 and admits that it is all in the name of vanity.

Gwen on her post-pregnancy body: “Your metabolism is like, whooosh! You’re sleep deprived, but you have this crazy amount of energy because of all those hormones. I’m scared what’ll happen when it all stops. What it’ll feel like, going back to the regular me. Now I’m in a repeater zone. I just want to make babies and make records.”

We’ve all seen Gwen’s weight fluctuate post pregnancy and the world watched as Gwen lost the baby weight dramatically. Her body snapped back into top shape in a matter of weeks (something which takes ‘normal’ people years to achieve!) I suppose when your income and career is based 80% on your looks it’s imperative to be in top shape!

Gwen on her “My Fair Lady” inspired spread: “I’ve gotten a little more feminine over the last few years. As the years go by, you get more comfortable with looking more like a woman.”

She definitely has gotten more feminine! I don’t know about you, but I remember seeing some snaps of Gwen on the red carpet wearing a fluro ‘Crazy Britney’ wig with chunkified metal braces and pasty skin. While she still has the pasty skin, she’s made it her own with bright rocker red lipstick and fierce frosty blonde hair.

Gwen on struggling to maintain her size 4 figure: “I hate talking about it, but it’s true. “I’ve always been on a diet, ever since I was in the sixth grade. It’s an ongoing battle and it’s a nightmare. But I like clothes too much, and I always wanted to wear the outfits I would make. And I’m very vain.”

I found that quote slightly disturbing. If my sixth grade daughter was dieting I’d certainly be concerned. I can’t imagine Gwen ever being overweight, she has a very small bone structure and what seems like a fast metbolism judging from her previous statement on pregnancy. Hmmm….eating disorder anyone?

What Does Gwen Stefani Eat?

When asked what Gwen Stefani eats she replies “all the healthy stuff, but I usually let myself cheat once or twice a day with a pizza or a cookie”. Luckily for you, I’ve has asked Gwen Stefani’s personal trainer to reveal her diet and workout schedule.

How does Gwen Stefani Workout?

She obviously does alot of dancing for her video clips and when she is touring. It’s estimated that the average performer burns over 4000 calories per night when on tour! She eats “all the healthy stuff”

Gwen Stefani and her rock star husband, Gavin Rossdale are expecting their second child. They found out while in in Los Angeles and they couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone.

Gwen and Gavin were married in London in September 2002. In 2006 they had their first baby, a son named Kingston. Kingston was one of US Weekly’s babies of the year when he was born. He will be two-years-old on May 26. He can’t wait to be a big brother!

Since Kingston was born, babies have been on Gwen’s brain. She said, “Make babies, make music, I’m on repeat mode.” Back in October she said she was in a rush to have another baby, but didn’t want to while she was on tour.

Our little rock star will need a Brandy Sleigh Cradle to get him in the groove. The Music Box Cradle Bedding is the perfect touch to your nursery. And to put a little music in the groove you will need the Baby King Mobile.

We will want to inspire this child! The Let’s Dance Canvas Art does just that. When our little rocker is ready, then he’ll play a “rockin” tune on the Musical Toy Box, and when he’s ready for a break he can “do, re, mi” on the Musical Rocker.

As the little music lover gets bigger you can use the Children’s Music Table to introduce him to a variety of musical instruments. For the little ones that are destine to be a rock star they will need the Rockwood Jr. Drum Set. Which is perfect for our young rocker and will make a great nursery theme until he’s ready to rock out!

Congratulations Gwen and Gavin. The Diva wishes you many more “rockin” babies.
