| The Secret History of Kate Bush, first published in 1982 as Kate was on the verge of superstardom, is a daring and unorthodox dive into the world of music, fame, and cultural obsession. Written by Fred Vermorelâ a close associate of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, and renowned for his subversive "anti-biographies"â the book shatters the boundaries of traditional celebrity profiles. Told from the perspective of a die-hard fan, it unveils the mystique of one of popâ s most elusive icons while exposing the capitalist machinery driving the entertainment industry. Part biography, part cultural critique, and entirely provocative, this is not just a book about Kate Bush but a rebellious manifesto against the commodification of art. Republished in 2022 by Le Gospel in France, this special edition goes even deeper with unpublished treasures from Vermorelâ s personal archive. Featuring an exclusive interview with Kateâ s father, Dr. Robert Bush, a razor-sharp foreword by novelist and musician Tony Oâ Neill (Digging the Vein), and Vermorelâ s own afterword reflecting on his explosive work four decades later, this is a must-read for anyone fascinated by Kate Bush, the art of fandom, and the raw power of creative rebellion. Fred Vermorel is a pioneer of the in-depth study of celebrity and fan cultures, best known for his controversial "anti-biographies" of pop icons including the Sex Pistols, Kate Bush, Vivienne Westwood, and Kate Moss. |
