Kate Bush Club, PO Box 120, Welling, Kent DA16 3DS

Hello everyone,
Here is a press statement I have issued and I wanted you to see it….
“A number of inaccurate comments have been made about me in recent articles which I am taking further. I just want everyone to know I am very happy and proud to have such a beautiful son, Bertie – he is absolutely gorgeous. Far from being secretive, I am just trying to be a good protective mother and give him as normal a childhood as possible whilst preserving his privacy – surely everyone can understand that. I am having great fun being a Mum as well as working on a new album”
I hope you will understand how invaluable it has been to me to have a very fulfilling and normal start to motherhood and I felt unable to tell you about Bertie previously for reasons already explained. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He is my joy and I’m very happy and very busy being a Mum. I am finding time to write for the new album and very pleased so far.
Thanks again for your lovely letters and kind wishes. I hope you will be happy for me.
Lots of love,
Kate XX
