A Look Back: Gavin considered for Morrison Role

 Back in March 2000: Gavin and his management were considering him for the role of Jim Morrison

Rossdale Closing Door On Morrison Role
BUSH frontman GAVIN ROSSDALE has turned down an offer to play THE DOORS’ singer JIM MORRISON in a new film about the band. But a spokesperson for Bush said they specifically performed the Doors track BREAK ON THROUGH at their recent sell-out concert at London’s SHEPHERD’S BUSH EMPIRE for casting scouts from America, who were in the audience. The movie will be based on the book, WONDERLAND AVENUE, the classic Doors biography by Danny Sugarman. Filming is not expected to begin for another two years, which the Bush spokesperson speculated “may be just right for Gavin to take a step in that direction”. Rossdale himself said, however, that he would be content to provide music for the soundtrack, admitting that it was “almost like a dream come true” to be considered for the role.
