To mark the occasion, Gwen posted a video of herself singing the hit solo on Instagram on Tuesday.

The Instagram clip showed her belting out the lyrics on stage while accompanied by husband Blake Shelton, playing guitar and singing along in the background.

The entertainer captioned the post: “I heard “Don’t Speak” has surpassed 1 BILLION views on YouTube,” with an exploding head and white heart emoji.

However, loyal No Doubt fans were angry that Gwen didn’t bother mentioning or including her bandmates in the video.

One person wrote in the comments: “Would have preferred a video of NXD together like during the TK or ROS era.

“Don’t speak is a group thing, there was a magic operating when all the band members were there. One of the greatest breakup song ever!”

Another complained: “Can’t even post a video with the boys.”

A third wrote: Miss the ND boys behind you.

And a fourth echoed: “Would rather see the video with the ND boys, not this.”

Meanwhile, others pointed fingers at Blake for why her band didn’t join her onstage since he took over on guitar and vocals.

BIG CAREER

No Doubt went on hiatus in 2001 after releasing five albums and numerous hit singles, including I’m Just a Girl and Spiderwebs.

During this time, lead singer, Gwen, focused on a solo career, in which she gained success with her popular tracks, Hollaback Girl and Sweet Escape.

The band reunited in 2012, though Gwen ultimately decided to focus on being a mother to her three children: Kingston, 17; Zuma, 14; Apollo, nine, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, 57.

Two years later, the 53-year-old snagged a seat as a coach on The Voice, where she met her now-husband, Blake, 46.

The couple – who tied the knot in 2021 – have released several songs together in Blake’s wheelhouse of country.

EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE

Earlier this month, Gwen left Blake a touching tribute to commemorate his last finale as a coach of The Voice.

He had been an intricate part of the show since its inception in 2011 but closed out his run following the 23rd season.

Gwen said in a video shown during the episode: “Who would have thought that this Orange County girl and this country guy from Oklahoma would find each other on the set of The Voice?”

The clip flashed to footage of Gwen and Blake joking around and hugging during their first season together on the show.

“When I first came on the show, our lives were having this parallel destruction happening,” she said, referring to their separate divorces that were taking place at the time.

Gwen went on: “Then next thing you know, Blake and I start becoming besties and falling in love.”

The video showed montages of the couple hugging, kissing, and getting married.

Gwen teared up as she reflected on their life together.

She said: “It’s hard for me to even talk about it without getting super emotional.”

The rockstar concluded: “The Voice is gonna go on, but Blake’s legacy will be there forever.”

It was recently announced that Gwen is returning as a coach on the singing competition for the next season, despite Blake’s absence.
