Gwen Stefani’s ex-husband Gavin Rossdale proved he's still every inch the rock star as he delivered an energetic performance at Rock am Ring Festival in Germany on Friday, June 5 2026.

The Bush frontman looked incredibly fit as he took to the stage at the iconic music event in Nürburg, showing off his toned arms in a sleeveless black top paired with cargo-style trousers. 

With his trademark dark curls pushed back and microphone in hand, the 60-year-old commanded the crowd with the same charisma that helped make him one of the biggest rock stars of the 1990s.

The performance formed part of Bush's busy touring schedule as the band continues to perform for fans around the world more than three decades after first finding fame.

Gavin rose to prominence in the mid-1990s as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Bush, one of the defining rock bands of the era. The group's debut album, Sixteen Stone, became a global success thanks to hit singles including 'Glycerine', 'Comedown', 'Machinehead' and 'Everything Zen'.

The album sold millions of copies worldwide and helped establish Gavin as one of the most recognisable figures in alternative rock.

The singer was married to Gwen Stefani from 2002 until their highly publicised split in 2015. During their 13-year marriage, the former couple welcomed three sons: Kingston, 20, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 12.

Proud dad Gavin recently shared a new series of pictures of his youngest two boys, Zuma and Apollo, 12, supporting him on tour - and it looks like they are having a great time. 

The Bush frontman posted on Instagram on Friday May 22, capturing backstage moments from tour life.

These included a snapshot of Zuma on stage with him, Apollo riding in the tour bus with their pet dog on his lap, and Gavin and Zuma picking up food supplies while on the road.

In the caption, Gavin wrote: "Touring with Kaya hits different. Feels from another time. And having my boys around is everything and heals the homesickness."

The singer previously told People magazine that he is always looking for ways "to be a better father" and that over the last few years he’s learned a lot about parenting. Gavin also revealed how fun his children were too. "My kids are really funny and cool, and we have such a good time together,” he said. 

"But I constantly strive to be a better father. I am lucky that my life is so great."
