Gavin Rossdale on his new cooking show and the burden of being beautiful
LA Times“I’m not a professional chef who can tell you what to do,” says Gavin Rossdale of Bush. “And I don’t want to be that guy.” Three decades after he found alternative-rock stardom as the frontman of Bush, Gavin Rossdale has a new job: TV chef. In each episode of “Dinner With Gavin Rossdale,” which premiered Thursday on Vizio’s WatchFree+ platform, the 59-year-old singer and guitarist welcomes a different celebrity guest — first up is Serena Williams, followed by the likes of Selma Blair, Tom Jones and Jack McBrayer — into his Studio City abode for a home-cooked meal and an intimate conversation. Rossdale, who shares three sons with ex-wife Gwen Stefani, spoke on a recent morning about the show and his life in Los Angeles and about Bush, which will resume touring later this year behind the band’s 10th studio album, “I Beat Loneliness.” Why’d you want to do a cooking show? I’d grown up on Fugazi and Jesus Lizard and Slint, and I kept seeing Steve’s name going back to Big Black — you know, “Songs About F—ing.” So exciting to see an album called that.
