Gavin Rossdale, frontman of the iconic band Bush, is trading stadium lights for kitchen lights—and it’s all for the love of family. The British rocker has launched a new venture close to home—literally. His cooking show, Dinner With Gavin Rossdale, was born from his deep desire to be a present, hands-on father to his four children.

In a candid interview, Rossdale opened up about why he stepped back from a life of constant touring. “I really wanted to stay home and not have to travel,” he said. “I live with my three boys half the time, so I didn’t want to always travel to buy them dinner.” That realization led to a major lifestyle pivot: creating a job that allowed him to work from his Hollywood Hills home and stay close to his kids.

Rossdale shares sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo with ex-wife Gwen Stefani, and his oldest child, Daisy Lowe, with designer Pearl Lowe. He says the show not only keeps him grounded in family life, but also gives him a voice beyond his music career. “I have a profile, I have a band… but not much voice,” he shared. “I thought, why not go out in some kind of glory and be yourself?”

Each episode of Dinner With Gavin Rossdale, which premiered February 13 on VIZIO, features Rossdale preparing a three-course meal for celebrity guests like Serena Williams, Common, Brooke Shields, and Selma Blair. Set in his own kitchen, the show is equal parts culinary experience and heartfelt conversation.

And while Rossdale is passionate about food and music, parenting is clearly his top priority. He watches with pride—and a touch of nervousness—as his kids explore music, too. “I’m not even sure if I’m still the best guitar player in the house,” he admitted. “It’s kind of annoying, to be honest.” Still, he’s committed to cheering them on, even if their dreams seem uncertain. “My job is to encourage them to go out into the world, be independent and be strong.”

Even with all the love, co-parenting isn’t always easy. When asked for advice, Rossdale joked, “Call me when you find the secret.”

At the heart of it all is a dad who traded applause for after-school dinners and interviews for heartfelt conversations around the table. And through Dinner With Gavin Rossdale, he’s showing the world that being present—for your kids, for your passions, and for life’s small moments—is the most rock and roll move of all.
