Kate Bush: The biography

Kate Bush has composed some of the most unforgettable songs in the history of pop music. 'Wuthering Heights', her debut single, soared to number one in 1978, and over a quarter of a century later, she remains something of an enigma. A singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, actress, and director, Kate has inspired a devoted global following.

Rob Jovanovic meticulously traces the trajectory of Kate Bush's career, from her formative years in the Essex countryside through her initial forays into music with a series of home recordings, right up to her number one debut album that propelled her to international stardom. Featuring exclusive interviews with studio musicians and choreographers, Jovanovic's biography highlights both her prodigious talent and her intensely private nature.

Over the past decade, Kate Bush took a sabbatical from her hugely successful musical career to focus on raising her family. However, in November 2005, she released 'Aerial', her first album in twelve years, to widespread critical acclaim.
