Stefani thanks young fans for help

Gwen Stefani credits her younger fans with helping her carry on touring after she discovered she was pregnant.

The No Doubt singer, who gave birth to her son with Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, last May, was on the road as a solo artist when she learned of her pregnancy.

She says: "On my last tour, it was the success and my fans which saved me. I'd just discovered I was pregnant and so I was dying out there. I felt gross and was getting bigger and bigger but still I couldn't tell anyone why.

"But I'd look out and see all these young eight to 16-year-old girls at their first concert singing along to my songs. They were looking at me like I was Cinderella. It was amazing."
