Dua Lipa Duets With ‘Personal Hero’ Gwen Stefani on a No Doubt Classic as She Wraps 4 Nights at L.A.’s Forum

Dua Lipa went out with a bang at her fourth and final Radical Optimism Tour stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Wednesday night (Oct. 8), bringing out Gwen Stefani to duet on No Doubt‘s heartbreak anthem “Don’t Speak.”

Lipa introduced Stefani as “one of my personal heroes, one of my favorite artists, someone who I’ve grown up listening to my whole life, who’s influenced my music, influenced my style, someone who I love as a performer, and someone who just constantly keeps redefining herself and music. And I just absolutely love that this incredible woman is here tonight.”

Stefani emerged on the Forum stage to thunderous cheers, matching Dua’s all-black vibes with her own plaid-accented rocker look, and traded verses and harmonized effortlessly with Lipa on the 16-week Radio Songs chart-topper from 1996. It was a family affair on Wednesday night, as Billboard spotted Kingston and Zuma, Stefani’s two sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, in the crowd for the surprise duet.

But the No Doubt frontwoman wasn’t the only surprise Lipa had in store for her L.A. crowds: On Tuesday’s night 3, she also brought out Lionel Richie to perform his four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “All Night Long (All Night)” together.

It’s not always a guarantee that Dua Lipa will bring out a special guest on the Radical Optimism Tour, but she has been performing a brand-new cover with her band each night. For her first two shows in L.A., Lipa stuck with a Golden State theme, covering Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” on Saturday night and The Mamas & The Papas’ “California Dreamin’” on Sunday night.

Of course, this being Hollywood and all, there were also famous faces peppered throughout the Forum crowd across the four nights, including fellow musicians Adele, Olivia Rodrigo, St. Vincent and Lucy Dacus.

Next up, the Radical Optimism Tour hits San Francisco for two nights (Oct. 11-12) before wrapping her U.S. leg in Seattle on Oct. 15-16 and heading to South America.
