Selling over 33 million albums worldwide, the band continues to hold a loyal fanbase, and with the news that No Doubt would be playing at Coachella this year, fans can barely hold in their excitement. While the band will perform once again in April, back in December, it seems that The Voice runner-up Ruby Leigh might have dropped a hint about the future of No Doubt and Gwen Stefani.

I feel like a winner honestly.”
