Original Bush Drummer Robin Goodridge Files Lawsuit Against Frontman Gavin Rossdale

According to The Blast, original Bush drummer Robin Goodridge has filed a lawsuit against frontman Gavin Rossdale. Goodridge claims Rossdale and Bush, Inc. hired him to take part in the band’s “ALT-IMATE Tour,” which saw them celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Sixteen Stone.” He was allegedly promised 25% of the tour’s profits, but was terminated before the trek kicked off. Goodridge says Rossdale has since refused pay him, while also claiming that he owns 25% of the Bush trademark. He also accused Rossdale of violating the trademark agreement that was set up by the band’s founding members. Goodridge is currently seeking damages and a “permanent injunction enjoining Rossdale and Bush, Inc from using the trademark Bush.”

Gavin Rossdale Has 18 Songs Written For New Bush Album

During a recent interview with May The Rock Be With You, Bush’s Gavin Rossdale offered an update on the band’s new album. The frontman says he currently has 18 songs written for the effort.

Rossdale said the following:

“I’ve just written 18 songs. And we start [in the studio] on Monday with a producer. [We’ll] rearrange — hopefully not too much — the stuff I’ve done. We choose the songs we’re gonna do. We either might use what I started, the tracks, or we might just try nixing them and doing it fresh. Each song will dictate that. But we go eight days [in the studio] before we come to Australia [for our tour with CHEAP TRICK and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, then we do [several days] of rehearsal. And then when we come back from Australia, we’ve got a few days off and then we go back to finish it. It should be done by May.”

He also added the following about the musical direction, which he says is similar to “The Kingdom”:

“It’s all like that. I like that. So I’ve kept it in that vein. That was the launchpad. That was it. I was, like, ‘I’m off.’ I’ve got maybe two ballady, two softer songs, slower songs, but they’re weird.

I’ve got a studio in my house now and it’s been such an amazing time. You have the tools at your fingertips now to make songs and make music. It’s just staggering. It’s so much fun.”
