Kate Bush has received her CBE for services to music
from the Queen at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The
singer-songwriter, who was catapulted to fame in 1978 when Wuthering Heights
topped the charts, said she was "incredibly thrilled".
The 54-year-old
dedicated the award to her family and joked that it would have pride of place
at the top of her Christmas tree.
She has
released 10 studio albums in a career spanning nearly 40 years.
Bush, whose
other hits include Running Up That Hill and Babooshka, has won both Brit and
Ivor Novello awards.
She has also
recorded collaborations with some of the most prominent names in music,
including Sir Elton John, Eric Clapton, Peter Gabriel and Prince.
'Thrilled'
But she has
toured only once, in 1979, and rarely makes public appearances or gives
interviews.
She declined to
speak directly to journalists who gathered at Windsor Castle for the ceremony,
but did release a brief statement.
"I feel
incredibly thrilled to receive this honour which I share with my family,
friends and fellow musicians and everybody who has been such an important part
of it all," she said.
