Originally published in 1982, just before Kate Bush ascended to international superstardom, Fred Vermorel’s The Secret History of Kate Bush remains one of the most insightful and unconventional books about music and celebrity culture. As a close associate of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, Vermorel is renowned for his unique "anti-biographies," which challenge the traditional boundaries of pop culture and expose the capitalist underpinnings of the entertainment industry.
The book offers a rare glimpse into the enigmatic singer’s world, while also providing an inspiring exploration of her artistic legacy. It delves into the mystique surrounding Bush and repositions her work within the broader context of art and creation.
Republished in 2022 by Le Gospel in France, this new edition of The Secret History of Kate Bush includes previously unpublished materials from Vermorel’s personal archives.
Highlights include an interview with Dr. Robert Bush, Kate’s father, a foreword by English novelist and former Marc Almond bandmate Tony O’Neill (Digging the Vein), and a reflective afterword by Vermorel himself, offering fresh insight into his provocative, 40-year-old piece of music literature.
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.
