The Secret History of Kate Bush

The Secret History of Kate Bush, first published in 1982, explores the music, fame, and obsession surrounding one of pop’s most elusive icons. Written by Fred Vermorel, known for his “anti-biographies,” the book blends biography and cultural critique, challenging traditional celebrity narratives. Told from the perspective of a devoted fan, it critiques the commodification of art and exposes the capitalist machinery behind the industry. The republished edition includes an exclusive interview with Kate’s father and a foreword by Tony O’Neill.
