Bush’s Gavin Rossdale Cooks Dinner for Famous Guests in His New TV Series

Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale is taking his skills to the small screen, with his new celebrity culinary talk series set to premiere next month.

Titled Dinner with Gavin Rossdale, the new show will see its titular host opening up his home to a number of celebrity guests as he prepares them meals, and engages in deeply personal conversations about their lives, careers, and everything in between. The series will premiere on VIZIO WatchFree+ on Feb. 13.

Some of the guests featured in the series include tennis icon Serena Williams, actress Selma Blair, multi-hyphenate entertainer Common, comedian Jack McBrayer, singer Sir Tom Jones, and actress Brooke Shields. “Miles Davis said that every musician should be able to cook,” Rossdale said in the series’ trailer. “So I took that as a great inspiration with my love affair with food.”

“I had a very simple idea about a TV show where I cook dinner for an inspiring guest,” Rossdale said in a statement. “We get to see these amazing people up close and no one held back. It’s magic to sit and eat with Sir Tom Jones or Serena Williams. I’m so grateful to all my guests.

“When we met with the team at VIZIO – it was obvious this was home,” he added. “It was a huge endeavor and I’m so happy we pulled it together. I’m hoping that everyone enjoys this series as much as I enjoyed making it. I’m very lucky and thrilled – but most of all grateful to everyone who worked to make this show happen.”

“Our team was excited to bring Dinner with Gavin Rossdale to our VIZIO audience because this series is an exceptionally unique blend that delivers equal parts culinary experience and emotional journey,” added Katherine Pond, Vizio’s Group Vice President of Platform Content & Partnerships. “We know our fans respond to food-related content, and with Gavin’s ability to foster meaningful conversation with his extraordinary celebrity guests, we knew this was going to be a hit.”

Rossdale rose to widespread fame as the frontman for British rock outfit Bush, who reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with their 1994 debut album, Sixteen Stone, which included charting singles such as “Comedown” and “Glycerine”. Two years later, they would best their previous accomplishments and top the chart with 1996’s Razorblade Suitcase. Their latest album, The Art of Survival, arrived in 2022.
