00:00 I was trying to think, like, how do you follow that?
00:07 Gwen Stefani's son seems to be following in her musical footsteps.
00:11 The singer's 17-year-old son Kingston Rossdale, whom she shares with her ex-husband Gavin
00:16 Rossdale, put his musical chops on display performing at Blake Shelton's bar Old Red
00:21 in Oklahoma on Friday.
00:23 Kingston can be seen chatting up the crowd at the venue before belting out a song for
00:26 the audience.
00:28 Blake is then seen giving Kingston a supportive hug on stage after the performance and setting
00:32 up to perform himself.
00:33 "Thank you guys, thank you for being here.
00:34 Thank you.
00:35 It means everything to me, really.
00:36 I hope you guys have a great night and enjoy yourself.
00:37 Thank you.
00:38 Thank you."
00:38 "We love you, Kingston!
00:45 Thank you so much!
00:52 Thank you so much!
01:00 Thank you so much!
01:07 Thank you so much!
01:13 Thank you so much!
01:19 Thank you so much!"
01:20 Gwen then joined her love on stage and the pair performed together.
01:23 They went on to share a story about filming a music video together during the pandemic.
01:27 "Gwen and I were, actually Kingston mentioned it before, 2020, the world shut down.
01:34 We were hanging out here just like everybody else was.
01:37 We were hanging out over at my place in Ravia.
01:40 And he was working on learning how to play the guitar at the time.
01:45 Gwen and I were trying to figure out how we were going to shoot a video for this song
01:51 that I had coming out that was a duet between Gwen and I.
01:55 And thank God, we literally happened to have, because I'm a nerd for video cameras, I had
02:02 a video camera at the house.
02:05 Her brother was there who knows how to run a video camera.
02:08 So if you ever watch the video for Happy Anywhere, you can look and go, 'Oh my God, that was
02:15 just us trying to figure out how to use it.'"
02:20 Axes previously spoke with the country crooner in 2022 when he shared about how being a stepdad
02:26 changed him and more.
02:28 "I think for a couple of years now, maybe even three years, we've been in talks with
02:35 each other about the possibility of an Ol' Red expanding into Las Vegas.
02:42 We were getting close and then COVID happened and just like everybody else has the same
02:47 story.
02:48 But now we finally were able to turn a corner and here we are doing the official shovel
02:55 groundbreaking and this thing's off and running.
02:59 I got to tell you, I'm super impressed that the plan is to have this thing opened by this
03:06 fall sometime.
03:08 And that's so exciting to me to know how long it's been.
03:13 We've been in talks about this and to have a location here in Las Vegas.
03:17 I think it's a perfect place for an Ol' Red to be honest with you because there's so many
03:25 country music fans come here and there's not always country music available.
03:31 I know there's residencies and stuff, but now there will be a place on the strip that's
03:35 the country music home seven days a week here in Las Vegas with live music all the time.
03:42 And so I'm super excited about that."
03:44 "So you kind of answered this, but what can fans, your fans, expect?"
03:48 "Well, you know, I think at this point a lot of country music fans have been to one of
03:55 the Ol' Red locations at some point.
03:58 So they kind of understand the vibe there, which is some good food and plenty of drinks.
04:05 But we're really all about what's happening on that stage all the time.
04:09 I mean, there's music on the stage at Ol' Red from the time the doors open until they
04:14 close and I can't think of any other venue like that and we're super proud of that because
04:21 we wanted it to be about the artists that are performing there and giving them a platform.
04:28 And that's why it's been a great partnership for me all along, being a coach on The Voice
04:33 all these years.
04:36 One of the problems when the season ends is, 'Hey man, that was great, what do we do now?'
04:43 And so The Voice is, I mean, so Ol' Red has been a great stepping stone for artists that,
04:50 you know, exiting The Voice so many times that you can come and find them playing at
04:54 one of the Ol' Reds, sometimes as early as the next couple of weeks after they've been
04:58 on national television, you know, and it's great.
05:01 It's been an awesome home for a lot of different artists."
05:04 "You mentioned The Voice.
05:06 After a decade, you're entering your final season.
05:09 When you look back, can you remember what it was like when the show was first pitched
05:13 to you and did you ever expect it to be as successful as it's been?"
05:17 "The first time I was pitched The Voice, I thought it was the stupidest idea I've ever
05:21 heard in my life.
05:22 I mean, that's the truth.
05:24 I just thought, 'Well, what the hell is this?
05:26 It's like a combination of, you know, Wheel of Fortune and music, like these spinning
05:32 chairs, what is that?'
05:33 You know, and my manager, you know, he wouldn't let it go and thank God because he just said,
05:40 'Just watch, just watch this DVD.'
05:44 And he had a DVD of the Holland version of The Voice, which is where it came from.
05:49 And I watched it and I thought, 'Okay, that does look super fun.'
05:53 I got to admit, you know, as goofy as the idea is, it looks like it could work, you
05:57 know.
05:58 And so I remember asking my manager at the time, I was like, 'Well, who else is doing
06:02 this?'
06:03 And the first name that he said was Christina Aguilera.
06:08 And I remember going, 'Okay, I'm in.'
06:11 I mean, I've heard of her.
06:12 I mean, who am I to say no?
06:14 I was nobody, you know.
06:16 And to know that she had already signed on, I was like, 'I want to work at that level,
06:20 so I'm in.'
06:21 And thank God, you know, I didn't let my stupidity get in the way of what ended up
06:27 being the best decision maybe I've ever made in my life, you know.
06:32 How has it changed your life?
06:34 Well, I met my wife at The Voice, which is the greatest thing that I'll take away.
06:42 Completely changed my career and trajectory.
06:47 I was a country artist that was having some hits on the radio and having some success
06:52 and things were going great.
06:54 But, you know, to step into that role on The Voice and right when it was taking off and
07:01 to be a part of that, it just took my career to a level that I didn't even know was possible
07:09 for me.
07:10 And it completely changed my life in that way, too.
07:13 Not to mention just, you know, so many friends, so many memories and just things that I'll
07:18 cherish for the rest of my life.
07:20 You've said that you're stepping back a little bit to focus on family and a stepdad now.
07:24 I want to know how that title has changed your perspective on life.
07:30 You know, I think being a stepdad has changed my perspective in that I'm not the first
07:36 person that I think about anymore, you know.
07:38 And it's like, even to the smallest little things, when you go, 'I think I'll do this,'
07:45 the very next thought is always, 'Well, wait a minute.
07:48 How's that going to work?' or 'What will they think?' or 'How will that affect a schedule?'
07:53 or, you know.
07:54 And so I think the only way for me to really do that right is to step away from being committed
08:05 to something like The Voice that demands a lot of your time.
08:09 There's no way around it.
08:10 If you're going to do it and do it right, you have to be 150 percent in.
08:15 And I just feel like those days are behind me for now.
08:19 I've got a more important job.
