Stefani had missed four shows due to illness prior to returning Saturday night, when she brought a pregnant fan onstage for a selfie. On Wednesday, she twice told the crowd she was sorry she missed the shows.
The couple also released a behind-the-scenes video. “There’s no point to this video, OK?” Shelton says, with Stefani at his side. “But it’s a cool song.”
