<p id=”par-1_83″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/gwen-stefani/?swcfpc=1″>Gwen Stefani</a> attained fame through <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-told-10-year-old-son-no-doubt-band-member-dated.html/”>her ’90s ska band, No Doubt</a>. The rocker frontwoman was launched into the public eye and stayed there through the early 2000s. By 2015, the band had gone on multiple hiatuses and disbanded. But they reunited in 2024 to play at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Now, Stefani is headed back on <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/the-voice/”>The Voice</a></em> to coach next season. Here’s what an insider said about her not needing No Doubt thanks to her TV side gig. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-an-insider-claimed-gwen-stefani-thinks-she-doesn-t-need-no-doubt-and-would-instead-return-to-tv”>An insider claimed Gwen Stefani thinks she doesn’t ‘need’ No Doubt and would instead return to TV</h2>
<p id=”par-2_50″>Gwen Stefani is ultra-famous in the music world thanks to her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-explained-the-voice-failed-produce-stars.html/”>coaching on <em>The Voice</em></a>, marriage <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/makes-blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-feel-insecure-marriage.html/”>to Blake Shelton</a>, and successful solo music career. However, fans will never forget how she got her start. Stefani gained fame in the ’90s to early 2000s via the ska-punk band No Doubt. </p>
<p id=”par-3_67″>No Doubt still has a serious following in 2024, as they headlined Coachella and gave a memorable performance to fans. Those who saw No Doubt were hopeful that their Coachella performance was a teaser for what was to come in the future. However, a source told <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/tv/11675811/gwen-stefani-salary-revealed-the-voice-over-touring/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a> that Stefani feels like she doesn’t “need” No Doubt to help her career, as she’s found success elsewhere. </p>
<p id=”par-4_44″>“She gets private bookings all the time to do solo gigs, and, of course, she plays those songs,” the source said. “It is a business decision, really. ‘Go to work and take in all the cash on your own or split it several ways?’”</p>
<p id=”par-5_15″>The source added that Stefani and the crew discussed continuing No Doubt after Coachella. </p>
<p id=”par-6_67″>“They worked so hard for months to deliver the perfect show and return the magic to the audience,” the insider continued. “The desire initially was Gwen and the band to use that platform to keep playing beyond Coachella on a tour, but the plan fell apart. But there was talk of tensions between members and managers around going back out and trying to work around everyone’s schedules.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_24″>The insider added that <em>The Voice</em> execs offered Stefani $13 million for her to return as a coach, so she took the opportunity. </p>

<p id=”par-8_56″>Gwen Stefani had a blast returning to the stage with No Doubt at Coachella in 2024. When asked about the band’s future by <a href=”https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-no-doubt-coachella-cover” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Nylon</a>, she said she’s “open to anything.” However, the band had no solid plans to start a new tour. Stefani told the magazine that she didn’t have a “crystal ball” regarding the future.</p>
<p id=”par-9_34″>“Most things have surprised me in life,” she explained. “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.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_62″>Whether Stefani continues working with No Doubt in the future or not, she will always keep creating music. “I just know that I was chosen,” she said. “And it took me a long time to say that, and it still makes me cringe a little bit, because it sounds conceited. I really struggled hard at certain things. But I can do this <em>one </em>thing.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-gwen-stefani-will-return-as-a-coach-in-the-voice-season-26″>Gwen Stefani will return as a coach in ‘The Voice’ Season 26</h2>
<p id=”par-11_29″>NBC’s <em>The Voice</em> fans will see her rejoin as a coach in season 26. Additional coaches for the season include Reba McEntire and newcomers Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg.</p>
<p id=”par-12_51″><em>The Voice</em> Season 26 marks McEntire’s third coaching stint. Snoop Dogg and Bublé have never coached before, so fans should look forward to seeing two newbies form their teams. Stefani coached during seasons 7, 9, 12, 17, 19, 22, and 24. She won one season out of seven so far. </p>
