Gwen Stefani marked the 25th anniversary of No Doubt’s album Tragic Kingdom with a reflective Instagram video.
The singer formed the rock band in 1986 with guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young and, over the weekend, she posted a video thanking fans for their continued support.
“I have so many memories. So many people that I’ve met through the years that have told me that that’s their favorite record,” the Make Me Like You star gushed.
“I didn’t even think it would come out, let alone have people love it and listen to it and it be their favorite. I feel like I’m still just a girl from Orange County, but I have all these blessings.”
Gwen also thanked her former bandmates, adding that their fans’ support, “just fuels my fire and music makes the world go’round.”
She also posted a throwback photo of her and the band, captioning the shot: “Thanks for 25 years #tragickingdom @nodoubt gx @kroq #justagirl.”
Tom, Tony and Adrian also shared their own posts, admitting none of them ever imagined the record, which features classic hits including Spiderwebs, Just A Girl, Sunday Morning and the massive Don’t Speak, would be a hit.
“I can’t believe it’s been 25 years, in some ways it feels like yesterday, in some ways it feels like a distant dream,” added Tom, before touching on the band going their separate ways.
“Sometimes great things fall apart, which is a shame. Yet here we are, 25 years later. It is what it is, & I keep trying to make peace with that.”
“I’d love to do one more No Doubt tour, but it feels like that ain’t gonna happen,” he said. “It’s bittersweet. In any case, what great memories, thanks all.”
