Kate Bush returned to the stage last night for the first time in 35 years, dazzling fans and critics with epic show at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Watch footage of her performing 'Cloudbusting' below.
Despite the star previously appealing for fans not to film or take photos of the show (which the vast majority of fans followed), that didn't stop this one concert-goer from filming the finale. Either way, it shows her in full form and voice - marking the return of a true genius that was more than worth the 35 year wait.
Her full 'no cameras' statement reads as follows:
"Hallo, Many thanks to everyone who sent such lovely wishes for my birthday. I had a wonderful day. We're all very excited about the upcoming shows and are working very hard in preparation. It's going very well indeed."
"I have a request for all of you who are coming to the shows : We have purposefully chosen an intimate theatre setting rather than a large venue or stadium. It would mean a great deal to me if you would please refrain from taking photos or filming during the shows. I very much want to have contact with you as an audience, not with iphones, ipads or cameras. I know it's a lot to ask but it would allow us to all share in the experience together. Looking forward to seeing you there."
