GAVIN ROSSDALE Reflects On BUSH's Resurgence Ahead Of Australian Tour

Interview by Angela Croudace
For more than three decades, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale has weathered the highs and lows of the music industry, but the band's current resurgence feels less like a comeback and more like the reward for years of persistence.
Speaking ahead of Bush's Australian tour this September alongside Shinedown, Rossdale reflects on the band's renewed popularity, comparing success to a carousel that eventually brings artists back into the spotlight. "You've got to keep going," he said. "As long as you stay on and do your best, there's a chance it comes back around again."
Rossdale credits Bush's longevity to a simple philosophy: focus on your craft, stay likeable, and never stop improving. Despite selling millions of records worldwide, he admitted the uncertainty never disappears, recalling conversations with actor Keanu Reeves that reminded him even the most successful people still wonder what comes next.
Away from music, Rossdale has also found success with his cooking and interview series, which he hopes to continue with a second season. He described the show as an opportunity to reveal the human side of well-known figures.
As for Bush's upcoming Australian dates, Rossdale is eager to return, promising fans a refreshed setlist featuring deeper cuts alongside the band's biggest hits. Tickets from destroyalllines.com
