No Doubt released their second single and music video. It’s the band’s sixth studio album to date and this new album “Push and Shove” is their first in over ten-year, following on from 2001’s “Rock Steady”, this music video caused already controversy among the Native American community. And here a statement from the Band below
“As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history. Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately. The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are.” – No Doubt
