Kate Bush withdrew from the spotlight completely in the mid '90s after a series of heartbreaking losses left her feeling 'exhausted'
"What I found very difficult since having him is finding time to talk to people because he comes first. She once told The Mirror: "School was a very cruel environment and I was a loner. Worst was the death of her mother in 1992. Have you got a story to share? Kate said: "People say magic doesn't exist, but I look at Bertie and know it does. A part of me didn't want to work. We want to hear all about it. There had been a period, a very big period, where I hadn't grieved properly. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more." My friends sometimes used to ignore me completely and that would really upset me badly. Soon after, she split from boyfriend Del Palmer, who'd also been her bass player for 10 years. Her escape was music.

Her unmistakable beauty signatures—a choppy shag, smoky gaze, and berry-stained lips—have always added to the rapture of watching her perform.
“She always looked so naturally powerful,” says makeup artist Grace Ahn. “Her hair and makeup had such a signature look—always dark wavy textured hair with red lipstick and dramatic eye makeup.” One of Bush’s most iconic color makeup combinations, as immortalized on the cover of her album Hounds of Love, was her lilac-washed lids worn with a berry-stained mouth.

From her earliest work as a musician, Bush was never one to shy away from talking about her sexuality. It has since fallen by the wayside in favor of the Emily Brontë-inspired standout from the record. Bush is credited with playing bass and guitar on the track while Nigel Kennedy got out his violin for a haunting string line.
