It’s been 10 years since the last release from English ’90s alternative rock band Bush, but that hasn’t left frontman Gavin Rossdale without a soft spot for the group that made him an international rock star.
“I love the idea of marriage or committing to someone,” says Rossdale, who has been married to singer Gwen Stefani since 2002. “Sometimes in long-term relationships, people break up, and you lose a little bit of faith. Now we got it back together.”
On Sept. 13, Bush will return with “The Sea of Memories,” arriving on the group’s own Zuma Rock Records, in a partnership with eOne Music. And while Rossdale’s feelings toward Bush remain intact, there are a few notable changes for the band this time out: For one, the lineup has altered, as guitarist Nigel Pulsford and bassist Dave Parsons, who both left the band after the commercially disappointing 2001 release Golden State, declined Rossdale’s invitation to return for the new project. “You have to be ready for the fight, [and they weren’t],” Rossdale says.
