The band gained worldwide success with their debut album “Sixteen Stone” in 1994 and only a few years later, in 1996, their record “Razorblade Suitcase” peaked at number one shortly after its release on Billboard. Despite their initial success, their fourth studio album “Golden State”, released in 2001, failed in sales which eventually prompted the band to separate in 2002. Their separation was also attributed to front man Gavin Rossdale’s wish to focus more on his acting career, and on his other band, the Institute.
Bush reunited in 2010 with some new members, when they released their album “The Sea of Memories” which peaked at number 18 on Billboard 200. The song “Into the Blue” was also included in the Avengers soundtrack.
In recent years, Bush have continued to release music and tour. Their latest album, “The Art of Survival” marked their ninth studio release in 2022 and was followed by an European world tour which took the band around many cities in western Europe. After releasing a compilation of their greatest hits, titled “Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023” only last year, Bush has been touring over North America. They have performed in cities such as Boston, Nashville and Chicago and have ended the first leg of their tour at the iconic Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. But they’re not stopping: only last week, they have announced a new series of dates in the States: they’ll be performing in Virginia, Oklahoma, Chicago and Minneapolis between November and December.
Yesterday, the band has taken to social media to wish their front man a happy birthday: the Kildare-born British singer turned 59. “Thank you for shining so bright” they wrote.
This performance is part of a series of concerts organized by EMAs and MTV ahead of the much-awaited award night, which will be livestreamed from co-op Manchester on November 10. Set to grace this year’s stage with breath-taking performances are the likes of Shawn Mendes, RAYE, and many more.
