27 Hits from Past Decades and the Little-Known Stories Behind Them

It might be hard to imagine, but not all solo singers started out in the industry singing alone. There are many artists who first began their careers standing alongside members of a band before branching out and doing their own thing. More often than not, the reason behind a band splitting is often related to a couple in the band breaking up…

You may or may not recognize the woman standing in the front of this picture… That is in fact, pop and rock princess Gwen Stefani. Stefani was once the frontwoman of the band, No Doubt. And their hit single, “Don’t Speak” was completely influenced by the end of her and fellow band member, Tony Kanal’s relationship.
