Gavin Rossdale likens his co-parenting relationship with Gwen Stefani to a “two-lane” highway that never merges.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, the Bush guitarist spoke about his relationship with his ex-wife and how they raised their children, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. He also talked about how he and his fellow Bush Band members will be performing at Stagecoach this year.
“It’s a very interesting kind of thing…a two-lane highway, but it never seems to merge, and that’s fine,” Rossdale said.
The British musician explained what he meant by a “two-lane highway” and explained that each of them was doing their best to raise their children.
“She’s probably doing her best, and I’m doing my best, and my kids are growing up, so I’m proud to be an advocate for this system, and that’s OK,” he said.
Rossdale’s number one priority when raising children is to avoid raising “unsavory people.”
“It’s about making kids likeable. If you have kids who aren’t likeable, I think they’re going to have a hard time in life. You know, life is hard enough without being an asshole and not being aware of others, caring for others, being considerate, empathetic,” he began.
Rossdale said she strives to be a role model for her children and how they should show up in the lives of those around them.
“And all the things that I try to do my best to be in my life…kids, consistent friends, consistent people around me, and try to set an example of a kind of stable approach to life,” he said.
Mr Rossdale explained that there is so much pressure on the younger generation and he sees it through the eyes of his children.
“I feel connected to the pressures that young people have in terms of what to do. And if you’re going to go to college, what the hell are you going to do in college, how are you going to pay off your student loans afterwards, how are you going to get a job? And that seems very, very difficult for people. It’s very, very difficult. And I don’t know if it’s getting easier,” he said.
Rossdale thanks God for finding his path in life several years ago as lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the British post-grunge rock band Bush.
Rossdale and his fellow Bush Band members are heading to Stagecoach this year. Rossdale said in an interview with Fox News Digital that she’s not afraid to perform at country music festivals because she plans to bring “good energy.”
“I think at the end of the day, it’s important to play well, have enthusiasm, have good energy. And if you bring good energy, there’s no reason why people won’t respond,” he began.
Stagecoach 2026 is scheduled to take place from Friday, April 24, 2026 to Sunday, April 26, 2026 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. President Bush will perform on Saturday, April 25th.
