Gavin Rossdale gets his chance

You might have been wondering what Gavin Rossdale's been up to recently.

Oh, come on, you might. Perhaps in case it comes up on an end-of-term quiz or something.

It turns out, he's been busy working on a debut solo album. A source told the Mirror:

"Gwen loves London so she doesn't mind staying here while Gav promotes the album. After months looking after their 19-month-old son — Kingston — it's Gav's turn to go out and bring home the bacon."

Normally, "bringing home the bacon" is a term which means "spend some time as the main wage earner in the household", but in this case, bearing in mind the likely demand for a solo album from the singer out of Bush, the source probably does mean it literally. There might be enough for half a dozen eggs, too.

Luckily, Gwen's combination of in-demand back catalogue, fashion line and perfume ranges means that the family will continue to tick over while Gavin has a go.
