This article about Pearl Lowe is quite interesting.
Short synopsis...
"Singer Pearl Lowe had it all: rock star boyfriend, beautiful children, membership of the Primrose Hill set – and a drug habit that almost killed her. Now, in a new memoir, she tells of how she ditched her friends to find redemption."
Part about Gavin Rossdale:
Around the time of her daughter’s conception, Lowe was involved with an American dietician – called “Bronner” in the book – but also had a one-night stand with a close friend, Gavin Rossdale, who subsequently became lead singer of Bush, a hugely successful band in the US. She assumed the father was Bronner, who left and lost contact when Daisy was a baby, and made Rossdale her godfather. He was a close and caring aide to Lowe as a single mum. But at 14, Daisy tried to search for Bronner on the internet and, at the same time, Gavin and Pearl, seeing Daisy’s long, lean frame (Rossdale is tall, Bronner slight) began to wonder.
“Gavin came to me saying I think we need to find this out,” says Lowe. “But when we set up meetings to have DNA tests he didn’t show up. And it got weird and he stopped returning my calls.” Reports at the time suggested that Rossdale’s marriage to the American singer Gwen Stefani had been rocked by this revelation. Matters turned legal. Lowe compelled him to take a test and Daisy was indeed revealed to be Rossdale’s child. Pearl sued for Daisy’s school fees, which Goffey had paid since she was six.
“This guy’s a millionaire, he can at least give Danny back the money he’s spent,” says Pearl. “It’s been a traumatic time for us. I lost my best friend, Daisy lost her godfather and doesn’t have a dad. And she lost self-worth. Because when someone rejects you like that, you wonder what’s wrong with you. I really don’t care if I never see him ever again. He’s been incredibly vile. He saw Daisy at first, but he was always rude to her, he made it feel like it was her fault. It was her 18th birthday and there was no present, no phone call, nothing.
“And when he had his baby with Gwen, Daisy’s half-brother, he didn’t even tell her. She’s never seen the baby. Not to take responsiblity and not to let your daughter even meet her grandparents and see her heritage is pretty sick.”
