Gwen Stefani debuts emotional song two months after split with husband

On Saturday night, pop’s resident blonde bombshell Gwen Stefani treated the crowd at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom to more than just a special throwback set brimming with early 2000s hits.

A large LCD screen in the background played an emotional video of a crying Gwen to the audience as she sang the new track to her fans.

Stefani belted out her personal lyrics.

Stefani told concertgoers that she wanted to share the song because it “is really special”.

Indeed, the track is a quintessential Stefani ballad, all powerful, raw emotion that references the artist’s heartbreaking recent break-up from her husband of thirteen years, Gavin Rossdale: “Never thought this would happen / I’ve let it sink in / You’re gone / Don’t know, know what I’m feeling / I must be dreaming / You’re gone…”

Well-known for her love of tartan, the singer paired a flouncy leather bustier with ripped red tartan pants linked by fine black mesh from the hip bones to the bust. While she additionally rages: “I guess nobody taught you how to love” & provides: “You can keep all the memories”. She touched upon past romantic struggles in No Doubt hits like “Don’t Speak” and “Simple Kind of Life”, and appears to continue the trend with “Used to Love You”.

The “Voice” coach and her now-ex released a joint statement to Access Hollywood on August 3 announcing their decision to part ways.

They share sons Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 19 months.

Gwen and Gavin Wednesday in 2002 after dating for six years.

Stefani said “Used To Love You” will be her next single.
