David Parsons (born 2 July 1966) is a British rock musician who is best known as the original bassist for the grunge band Bush. Before joining Bush, Parsons was a member of punk band The Partisans[1] and alternative rock band Transvision Vamp.[2] Parsons met up in 1992 with lead singer and guitarist Gavin Rossdale, guitarist Nigel Pulsford and drummer Robin Goodridge to form Bush. He stayed with the band until their breakup in 2002. When Bush reformed in 2010, Parsons decided not to rejoin. Parsons effectively retired from music following Bush's split, and remained so until 2025 – when it was announced he would reunite with Wendy James in a new line-up of Transvision Vamp alongside guitarist Alex Ward and drummer James Sclavunos.
Personal life
Parsons has been in a relationship with girlfriend Sarah Chope since 1994.[3]
