January 21, 2000: Wedding! (part 2)
from Kerrang magazine (jan 2000)

"No Doubt drummer Adrian Young has done the decent thing and got himself married. The man who likes to take to the stage in his birthday suit and wiggle his penis is now officially spoken for! Adrian proposed to his girlfriend at the Filmore in San Francisco, and a few months later, on January 17th, the couple held an intimate (well a few hundred people) wedding in the back garden of their home in Long Beach, California.

The band`s long-awaited new album "The Return of Saturn" is now due for a UK release in April. Among the tracks set to feature are "Bathwater" and "Ex-Girlfriend". You might take the latter title to reflect singer Gwen Stefani`s split with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale - were it not for the rumours that they`re back together. Maybe they were inspired by Adrian`s wedding. Kerrang! wishes both couples all the best."
