Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale recently admitted he had a gay affair with British singer Peter Robinson aka Marilyn back in the 1980s, when the rocker was only 17 years old, in an interview for upcoming issue of Details Magazine.

Details: Last year, the cross-dressing pop singer Marilyn revealed that he was romantically involved with you in your teens—an assertion Boy George first made in 1995. Why haven’t you talked about those claims?
Gavin Rossdale: I think at the outset there was a sort of fear—that was right at the beginning of Bush, and I didn’t want it to be part of it. It felt like a cheap shot, so I was like, “I’m not getting involved.” I’ve never wanted to appear closed about it. It’s not something I’ve talked about really because it’s always been in the glare of a tabloid world. It’s just one of those things: Move on. When you’re 17, Jesus Christ. I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of—you’re learning about life. It’s a part of growing up. That’s it. No more, no less.

Details: So it was just a one-time experimentation?
Gavin Rossdale: Yeah. That was it. You have to know what you like, and I know what I like.
Open mouth, insert foot. Gavin apparently regretted admitting that his relationship with Marilyn was an “one-time experimentation” deal and pleaded with magazine’s editor to omit that part of the interview since he had not talked to his wife, No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani, about it.
A source says, “Gwen didn’t know that Gavin and Marilyn were actually involved. Gavin always said before that they were just friends, and that’s what she believed, until Gavin had to tell her” because of the interview in Details.

Marilyn and Gavin’s affair was first exposed in Boy George’s 1995 book titled “Take It Like a Man”, but the two both lied and denied the allegations because Gavin’s band Bush was “just becoming successful in America”. Gavin will have a lot of explaining to do… Gwen must not be happy that her husband kept a secret like this and actually lied to her about it.
