| Gavin McGregor Rossdale was born October 30, 1967 in Kilburn, London England. Gavin's family consists of his parents Barbara and Richard and an older sister Soraya and a younger sister, Lorraine. When he was 11, his parents divorced and Gavin then lived with his father, who is a doctor. As a teen Gavin was a self proclaimed punk, who used to put egg whites in hair and glitter on his stomach. Soraya got him into band like the Pixies and by age 19 Gavin was learning guitar. After a few failed bands, including Midnight, he met up with Nigel Pulsford in 1992 at a concert and soon after Bush was formed. By 1994 Bush had a record deal, and began touring in 1995. Thier first album, Sixteen Stone went platinum many times and they became one of the most popular British bands in American history, touring the world more than once and selling out almost every venue they played. 3 more studio and one remix album followed and each time they released something, Gavin has shown how much he has grown as a songwriter and as a musician. In the summer of 2002, Gavin released his first solo song "Adrenaline" for the movie XXX. Although it didn't get nealry enough play on the radio and on MTV, it did get more than the last Bush song. On September 14, 2002 Gavin married his girlfriend of 6 years, Gwen Stefani, in London. The wedding was one of three. In the works now is a solo project, backed by a band called Institue. This new band Gavin has formed will surely show the same success, if not more, of Bush.
