Gavin Rossdale: Kingston’s A Bully! | Gavin Rossdale : Just Jared
Former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale took home “Rock Rebirth of the Year” at US Weekly’s Hot Hollywood Party at New York City’s Skylight on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old husband of Gwen Stefeni talked to JustJared.com about his upcoming tour, what Gwen and Kingston have in store for Halloween and starting up a foundation to start giving back. Read on!
GR: Great site, Jared. Great site! Congratulations. And great shoes!
JJ: Thank you! You and your wife wear great shoes all the time. Congratulations on your Rock award! So how does it feel to win Rock Rebirth of the Year?
GR: As soon as I find out what it means, I will ecstatic. (laughs) You know me, it’s great. A win’s a win, so it’s good to be recognized. I don’t know, you bring out records and most of the time no one knows you bring them out.
JJ: Are you currently still touring?
GR: Yeah, I’m about to go start I think in December. I start…a lot next year. This year’s all promo and how the way it all works, there’s so much you have to do to set it up. There’s more on the record I still want to share.
JJ: Halloween is coming up. Do you and Gwen have any Halloween plans yet?
GR: Yeah, her brother is having a party, so we’re going to that. I’m playing that night and then we’re gonna go off and I don’t know. She’s really good at that stuff. I’m English so we’re too uptight to be good at that stuff. I’d like dress as doctor and nurse but covered in blood. That’s great. So anything to do with blood would probably be good.
JJ: Are Kingston and Zuma going to be be dressing up?
GR: Yea, Kingston has like three outfits. He’s got a rhino, a tiger and I think an elephant, so he’s got to choose between them. We keep rotating them. He’s got style like his Mom.
JJ: Have Kingston and Zuma started fighting yet?
GR: It’s mainly a one-sided fight right now because Zuma’s pretty defenseless. But he’s not a small baby, so I think that Kingston’s got a couple years left and then he’s gonna get in trouble.
JJ: Do you and Gwen plan to start your own foundation to give back?
GR: Yeah, that would be good, wouldn’t it? We have talked about that. It’s kind of a leap of faith to have your own foundation because you gotta be super successful unless it’s a really small foundation. I did this event last week called The Lily Claire Foundation and I played the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. I played like a few songs
there and it’s such a good feeling when you do something like that that isn’t about you so. I’ll tell Gwen that you suggested it.
JJ: Thank you much. It was great meeting you!

SOLO GAVIN ROSSDALE GETS ‘WANDERLUST’ - New York Post
By JOSEPH BARRACATOJune 1, 2008 — Waking up next to a flourishing artist when your music career is in limbo can’t be much fun, but Gavin Rossdale never lost focus. The former Bush singer kept on writing and recording in his LA home studio while wife Gwen Stefani was out becoming an international icon.
Now it’s his turn.
“I been gone too long,” exclaims Rossdale, who repeats that phrase on a few of the hooks from his first solo album, “Wanderlust,” out Tuesday. “I would look at artists and bands playing live shows and get slightly pissed off that I wasn’t doing that. I missed that tremendously.”
Rossdale’s first hiatus came in 2002, when Bush broke up after selling almost 12 million albums and spawning seven Top Five hits, including “Machinehead” and “Swallowed.”
He got an itch a few years later and formed Institute, which split after one album in 2005. Then he met famed producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Aerosmith) and found a musical match.
“I knew [Rock] was the guy the second we spoke,” says Rossdale, 42. Their efforts gave birth to 13 tracks, including the aggressive “Some Days,” a warm and fuzzy gem in “Drive” and a drug-infused sing-a-long dubbed “Another Night in the Hills.”
“Working on films was a great experience, but nothing compares to making music,” says Rossdale, who landed roles in “Constantine,” and the upcoming “Frost Flowers.” “I did feel like an adulterer at some points. I knew I needed to get back into the studio.”
