Kate Bush Was ‘Terrified’ To Return To Stage

She also says that 2014 shows were not a full stop on her career

Kate Bush has given a rare interview in the lead-up to the release of her new live album Before The Dawn in which she reveals that she was "terrified" to return to the stage for the 22-date run of shows she did in London in 2014.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, when asked about future releases, she does not reveal too much but says that the shows in 2014, which marked her first since 1979, were not a full stop, but rather a "big comma". The interview was Bush’s first since 2011 and will air in full on November 20. Before The Dawn is out on November 25
