We don’t blame him. It must be rough for Gavin Rossdale to leave his lovely family behind while he goes out on tour.
The first time he went out on tour with his newly reunited band Bush, the singer sffered panic attacks from leaving his family.
Even though he’s happy that the band is back together, he says:
“(Leaving my kids behind is) a real challenge. That is a real difficult part that is very painful. It is most acute with the kids because they are five and three. A month is an eternity to them at that age, and to me too… It is really challenging. It is further proof that in life there is no free lunch and there is sacrifice to be made…
(Bush’s success) is tinted with the fact that I am not going to see my kids until the end of October, and then only for four or five days. Then I have to go to Europe for a month. That’s not complaining, it’s just reality in everything you do. Anyone with a kid and a job knows what I am talking about… I had panic attacks at the beginning of it all thinking about being away from them, just the idea that I am away a lot is challenging.”
Poor little Kingston and Zuma! Too bad they can’t just go on tour with good ol’ dad!
