Question
I think Kate Bush is one of the most interesting underrated singer/songwriters of our time.  I respect her devotion to creativity.  However, I know very little about her personal life other than she was born and raised in Britain.  Does she have any siblings?  Were her parents artistic?  What about her romantic life?  Marriage?  Children?  What is she doing now?  Thank you!

Answer

Q: Children?
