UPDATE 12/17/08 - No Doubt today confirmed a delay on the release of their comeback album until 2010, so they can concentrate on their tour. Gwen Stefani recently said the band would hit the road in 2009, and that a new LP was in the works; their first in more than seven years. But dummer Adrian Young confirms he and his bandmates are working on new music, but a release is a long time away. He told MTV, "We've been working on a new record off and on now for a bit of time, and we're going to continue to work on a new record next year. We're going to start touring in the spring of 09 through the summer, and we're going to continue to work on music while we're travelling. (We'll have) a mobile studio on the bus and eventually get to a new No Doubt record."
