Fundraiser for Steelo Vazquez
No Doubt, Gwen StefaniMany fans may remember the very talented dancer Steelo Vazquez who was featured in Gwen's Early Winter video and also performed with her during The Sweet Escape Tour. Steelo recently suffered a life-threatening injury and the Los Angeles dance community is hosting a fundraiser on December 6th to benefit his recovery.
On June 19th, Steelo suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and had to undergo emergency surgery. During the operation and subsequent surgeries, Steelo suffered four additional ruptures and lost his ability to walk and speak. Today, Steelo remains in an extensive rehabilitation program where doctors are helping him relearn basic functions. His wife Penelope has constantly been by his side during the slow recovery in ICU. It was actually during a show on Gwen’s tour that Steelo proposed to his now wife, Penelope Vazquez. Their son just celebrated his 1st birthday.
Steelo’s friends, family and doctors are hopeful that through therapy he will make a full recovery over time.
On December 6th at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills there will be an event to raise money for Steelo's medical costs and to help support his wife and young son. The event will feature performances from some of the biggest names in the dance community including Jabbawockeez (MTV's America's Best Dance Crew), Twitch (So You Think You Can Dance,) Team iLLuminate (America's Got Talent) and Beat Freaks (featuring Music from the Harajuku Girls.) There will be a raffle and silent auction as well, including items from Gwen and No Doubt.
Tickets are on sale now for the event on December 6th in Beverly Hills. For more information on Steelo, this event or to make a donation click here. 
Messages of Hope Arrive in Japan
No DoubtBack in June at Gwen's Harajuku-themed tea party benefiting Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund, each guest was given a Momiji Message Doll to paint and write a special message for the children of Japan. Gwen and Momiji sent the dolls to Japan so that Save The Children could give them to the local children -- and the dolls have now arrived!
The customized dolls were presented at the "Event of Re-Construction for Rikuzentakata". Rikuzentakata, a city in Iwate, Japan, was heavily destroyed by the March, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Many of the city's residents lost their homes, businesses and lives as a result.

Update From the Band
No Doubt
Dear Friends,
We've been incommunicado for the past few weeks so we wanted to reach out and say hi. Work on the new No Doubt album is well underway and we can't wait to share it with you. The past twelve months have been eventful; we performed for Paul McCartney and President Obama at the Kennedy Center Honors, three beautiful new No Doubt babies were born, and we've recorded in studios all over Los Angeles. Ideally our new record would be coming out this year but it's just not ready yet. We don't want to rush this album just to get it out. This collection of songs means everything to us and our only priority right now is to make sure that it's the best album we can possibly make. There is still more work for us to do...
We love our fans and are doing this for your ears and want you to know how much we appreciate your patience and support. We'll keep you updated here at nodoubt.com and on our Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Love,
Gwen, Tony, Adrian and Tom
No Doubt
