Kate Bush Says Thanks For Coming To The Show

Kate Bush has written a thank-you note to her fans.

In March 2014, Kate Bush announced that she would play a residency at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, her first full fledged shows in 35 years. Fans were ecstatic and tickets for all 22 shows sold out in fifteen minutes.

Bush concentrated her shows around two albums, 1985’s The Hounds of Love and 2005’s Aerial, with tracks from other sets occasionally mixed in. Sparkling visuals highlighted the show while critics were impressed with the performance.

On Wednesday, Bush posted a heartfelt thank you to her fans and all the others involved with the shows on her official website:

Hi there,

Now all the shows are over, it’s pretty difficult to explain how I feel about it all. It was quite a surreal journey that kept its level of intensity right from the early stages to the end of the very last show. It was also such great fun.

It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. I loved the whole process. Particularly putting the band, the Chorus and the team together and watching it all evolve. It really was the ultimate combination of talent and artists, both from the music business and the theatre world. I never expected everyone in the team to be so lovely and we all grew very close. We became a family and I really miss them all terribly.

I was really delighted that the shows were received so positively and so warmly but the really unexpected part of it all was the audiences. Audiences that you could only ever dream of. One of the main reasons for wanting to perform live again was to have contact with that audience.They took my breath away. Every single night they were so behind us. You could feel their support from the minute we walked on stage. I just never imagined it would be possible to connect with an audience on such a powerful and intimate level; to feel such, well quite frankly, love. It was like this at every single show.

Thank you so very much to everyone who came to the shows and became part of that shared experience. It was a truly special and wonderful feeling for all of us.

Very best wishes,
Kate x
