Gavin Rossdale | BUSH | Headlines – V01
What’s the story behind “Afterlife?: I just wanted to write a song about love in another dimension, how that works and following somebody into the afterlife. I began “Afterlife” with the drums because I really wanted something uplifting and powerful at a different tempo than I’d sung before. It really opened up different sides of my voice in a weird way. I muscle or finesse my way through. It’s funny because when I hear the songs done, I’m always a bit shocked. I’m like, “Wow, that’s so cool. How could I ever top that?” Then you find a way to do another song, and it comes together. via Interview: Gavin Rossdale of Bush – ARTISTdirect News.
“I really thought that Dave would do it, so I was a little surprised by that,” Rossdale said. “And I knew that Nigel would play on records but not go out on the road. We’re all on perfectly good terms, it’s just not where they’re at.” via Gavin Rossdale Says Bush Reunion ‘Feels Like Coming Home’ – News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News.

And then I think a proper, substantial tour starts next year.” via Gavin Rossdale Calls Bush Reunion ‘Exciting,’ Says Family Rumors Can ‘Strike Home’ | Billboard.com.
