Happy Kate Bush day everyone! Yes, music fans the world over find themselves in a state of ecstasy and rejoice as the iconic pop Godess announces her return to the live stage for the first time in 35 years. 

The seminal 'Wuthering Heights' heroin has announced a 15 date residency at London's Hammersmith Eventim Apollo - formerly known as the Hammersmith Odeon and the scene of her last gigs in 1979 on 'The Tour Of Life'. 

Many feared that this would be the last time the world would see Bush step on stage ever again. Her fear of flying, combined with rumours of her fatigue of touring and the fact young lighting director Bill Duffield died during said tour, all entered music folklore as the reasons behind the pop legend never touring again.

Fortunately, everyone was wrong and she's back. Let's celebrate by enjoying her last live shows at the Odeon.
