Gwen Stefani is on 'The Sweet Escape Tour' with baby son, Kingston, for the first time.
Accompanied by her four flamboyantly-dressed Japanese dancers, the Harajuku Girls, Gwen uses the show to strut her stuff in a bling-festooned array of stage costumes - a leopard-print jumpsuit, hot pants and low-slung trousers - while her six-piece backing band serve up a high-octane blend of pounding hip-hop and silky electronics.
But being a yummy rock mummy is not without its complications.
Stefani's mummy stories,
Stefani, who has her baby on tour with her, admits to having had plenty of "tortured nights" on the road.
"Kingston is walking now and he never sleeps," sighs the singer, who turns 38 on Wednesday. "And if he doesn't sleep, I don't sleep. Last night was insane. By this morning I thought I was going to die from the tiredness.
"It's hard to get the balance right. The touring life is hard enough as it is. Doing it with a baby can be almost impossible."
