Bush will never tour again : WWW,RTE.IE

British singer Kate Bush has vowed she will never tour again, despite telling her fans to expect two new albums next year.

The 'Wuthering Heights' hitmaker is set to release 'Aerial' - her first LP in 12 years - next week, but she openly lacks the confidence to perform a gruelling series of concerts.

She says of her recording schedule: "I thought I'd do two next year. Two in one year. That would really surprise them wouldn't it?

Of touring she adds: "It's something that if I could do more then I would have the confidence in my ability to do it. But I don't.

"I'm in a different space now. There's no way I'd tour again. You don't do that unless you want to."

And you're surprised?

That's a mental illness you have there, sir.

Cloudbuster said:

I know, she hates touring. In other news, Barbra Streisand won't be touring for her next album, either.

Hello, mister.

even if she were to tour, she wouldn't tour the states. doesn't she have a horrible fear of boats and planes? all you folks across the pond could finally thumb your noses back at us for all the prince shows we get.

i'm really not surprised she isn't touring. one concert to be taped for a DVD would be nice, though.

I'd like her to do a little intimate acoustic concert. I liked the one Annie Lennox did for the Bare bonus DVD.

What's her record company? Won't they "push" her to tour?

Anxiety said:

I remember hearing that.

hey, i'm just happy ol' girl made a new record!

Not everyone can be Tori Amos.

word!

Like her or not, her work ethic is INSANE!

There's nothing to stop her from doing a tour of the U.K or even a one off live special.

re: her ''insane'' work ethic .... she puts her family first....she's not a slave to fame and allows her kid to be brought up by nannies

she could do a one-off MTV gig like george michael did when Older was released.

Imagine her singing : The Kick Inside, The Man with the child in his eyes, never be mine, this womans work, moments of pleasure, your're the one, a coral room ...

amazing

VoicesCarry said:

No surprise to hear she isn't going to tour, but like so many others said, some sort of intimate show, taped for posterity, would be great.

On the other hand... TWO albums in 2006?! Is she serious?

Cloudbuster said:

Please, Kate! The "Babooshka" dance one last time!!!

She could use a headset a la Madonna during the performance!!!

The head mic was invented specifically for Kate's only tour back in '79.

It was made from a coat hanger.

Cloudbuster said:

Can you imaigne her now (aged 47) in the Babooshka outfit???

I bet she would use only a violin this time...

Cheek said:

I think the Babooshka outfit would likely be replaced with a tent.

Cloudbuster said:

Then she'd rather look like a serial killer...

Cheek said:

Cloudbuster said:

Would you visit her in the jail???

Cheek said:

Visit? Hell, no! I'd move in with her.
