ROCK STAR GAVIN ROSSDALE TO GUEST STAR ON "CRIMINAL MINDS" THIS FALL ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9 - Rock star Gavin Rossdale will guest star on an episode of CRIMINAL MINDS this fall on the CBS Television Network.

Rossdale will play a Goth rock star who has become lost in the frightening alter-ego he portrays on stage - an alter-ego whom the BAU team suspects may be a brutal serial killer.

Rossdale was last seen in the independent feature film "How to Rob a Bank." Previously, he appeared in the films "Constantine," "Little Black Book" and "Game of their Lives." Rossdale first attained worldwide fame as the lead singer/songwriter for the UK post-grunge rock band Bush. Their first album, "Sixteen Stone" (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive, non-stop touring. The band went on to produce three more albums together. Rossdale was featured on the Sony Pictures XXX soundtrack in 2002 with a song called "Adrenaline." The song was also the official theme song for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s "Unforgiven" pay-per-view event in September 2002 and was used in the ending credits of "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines." Additionally, he has just completed his International Tour on his latest solo album, "Wunderlust." Rossdale resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Gwen Stefani, and their two sons.
