Bush

When Bush dropped their first album in 1994 Sixteen Stone, it wasn't long after that this band was propelled to stardom with one of the biggest albums of the era.

After making 3 highly successful albums and one that fell a little short of the success of the previous records, original Bush guitarist Nigel Pulsford decided to walk away from the band after making the Golden State album and that is when current guitarist Chris Traynor made his first run with the band.

When Bush finished the tour the band broke up in 2002.

Gavin Rossdale New Band Institute

In 2004, Rossdale formed a new band called Institute with guitarist Chris Traynor.  Institute on did one album and disbanded in 2006.

Gavin Rossdale Goes Solo

In 2007, Rossdale began his solo career with his first record "Wanderlust." He then began an acting career that put him in movies like Zoolander, Little black book, The Game of Their Lives, Constantine, How to Rob a Band, and many more.

Bush Reunion

In 2010, Bush reunited but two of the founding members, guitarist Nigel Pulsford and bassist Dave Parsons decided not to return so it was Rossdale and drummer Robin Goodridge that continued to carry the torch with guitarist Chris Traynor and bassist Corey Britz.

Bush began making albums again and then in 2019, Goodridge left the band. Nik Hughes became the new drummer for Bush.

Bush - The Art of Survival

Fast forward to 2022/23 and Bush drops what could be considered one of the best albums yet with "The Art of Survival."

The first single was More Than Machines that went to number one on the charts.

A new single that will appear on the deluxe version of The Art of Survival is called "All Things Must Change."

On the deluxe edition of The Art of Survival, there is a duet with Amy Lee of Evanescence but that isn't out yet. In the video above you, Amy Lee sit in with Bush in Nashville for a performance of the song.
