BUSH Frontman Interviewed On DC101 (Audio)

April 17, 2012

Mike Jones of the Washington D.C. radio station DC101 recently conducted an interview with BUSH frontman Gavin Rossdale. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, Rossdale called people who read gossip tabloids "sour vicarious-living parasites" in a new interview with Spinner. The private life of Rossdale and his wife, NO DOUBT singer Gwen Stefani, has been tabloid fodder in recent months due to previously unrevealed relationships in Rossdale's past and rumors about the couple divorcing. Rossdale said at one point in the interview, "There are five or six cars that follow Gwen and the kids around every day, and I'm lucky if I can catch up."

He added, "People ask me how I put up with that? Well, until I walk through an airport and I don't see everyone reading those magazines, I have no choice. As long as people are buying in, it will feed itself. It's been like that forever. Throughout history there have been schools of great learning, artists, thinkers, and explorers — and then you'd have these sour vicarious-living parasites."

Rossdale has made headlines recently due to a teenage affair with British transgender singer Marilyn, his alleged fling with singer Courtney Love while dating Stefani, and speculation that he and Stefani were splitting.

Paparazzi constantly stake out their home, taking pictures of the couple and their two young sons. When asked how he feels about people knowing him not from his music but just from being married to Stefani, Rossdale replied, "I don't sweat it. The world is massive, and there are so many things to be in to: another band, a novel, TV, Cheetos, or nothing."

BUSH released its first album in a decade, "The Sea Of Memories", last year. The set contained the band's first chart-topping hit in 12 years, "The Sound Of Winter".

The latest single and video from the disc is "Baby Come Home".

BUSH kicked off a tour as openers for NICKELBACK on April 10 in Moline, Illinois. Also on the bill are SEETHER and MY DARKEST DAYS.
