The return of Bush and Gavin Rossdale
Rossdale, who will turn 46 in October, possesses silver-screen leading-man good looks, but acts as if he’s completely unaware of his heartthrob status. Married since 2002 to glamorous No Doubt lead singer, Gwen Stefani, the couple are the parents of two boys, Kingston, a five-year-old charmer who has been the focus of several TMZ posts and TV segments, and three-year-old Zuma. Yet Rossdale seems more concerned with delivering a knockout performance, even jumping into the middle of a rabid crowd to strengthen a connection with his audience that began with 1994’s debut, Sixteen Stone, than worry about being a matinee idol. In person, he’s quite down-to-earth and soft spoken.
”“I had aspirations of Peter Gabriel and Robbie Robertson. They came from, obviously, successful bands and carved out their own world,” Rossdale continues. “I tried that and I feel like I got some good results sonically, but commercially, trying to change the thrust of the expectations of me, some people just wanted Bush. If I did a movie, all the grips would ask when I was going back to the studio. If I was at the gas station, people would ask, ‘Where’s the next Bush record, buddy?’ It felt like the whole solo world that I was in that whole time was like being in a fist fight with one arm tied behind my back. It was really difficult to maneuver, despite the success we had. So I began to write songs and the better the songs got, the clearer it became that it should just be Bush.”

His band are currently enjoying a return to form with the release of their latest album, so it came as no surprise that Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale was in good spirits when we caught up with him for an exclusive chat.
Indeed, the band have received warm reviews for latest offering ‘Sea of Memories,’ quoted by many as their finest album since debut release ‘Sixteen Stone’ helped them do that rarest of things for a British band – crack America.
And with the album’s first single ‘The Sound of Winter’ entering the US Billboard Alternative Chart at number one, Gavin admits he can’t help but give himself a huge pat on the back.
“The incredible thing is that I can still write songs that are connected to the people,” he tells us. “Our song just went to Number One on the radio, here in America. The first song ever from a self-released record label that went to Number One. I’m proud of myself, it’s like I finally did something – I made history!”
While he’s keen to toast his band’s success, Gavin’s hellraising days are very much a thing of the past. These days the 45-year old frontman is a committed husband to No Doubt star Gwen Stefani and doting father to their two children – Kingston, 5, and 3-year old Zuma.
But with demands of their individual careers keeping them apart for long periods of time, how does he maintain such an enduring bond with Gwen?
“There is no mystery,” he says. “I think I got very lucky. I found a great girl. That helps, that’s the first big step in the right direction and the second is: treasure that. I don’t know, there’s no particular secret to that, it’s just logical.”
