I don't know, but I thought that I could look it up, too. Not true. I found
a gossip story about Kate in a Dutch music magazine. It's not much, so I
translated it. I wonder if they asked Kate the question, or if they made
up the answers. Can anybody verify the answers?

I got the page from a friend of mine, and didn't ask for the issue number
or the date. These data or not available, sorry. Anyway, it must have been
about five years ago. Kate 'says'(?) that she has a steady friend for seven
years (Del), maybe that's a clue?

Magazine: Popfoto
Status:   Gossip magazine about pop artists. Not considered to have good
          interviews or reviews.
The article' has a large photo of Kate, with some general data at the side
of that photo. Besides it, is a column with text. BTW Have a look at the
date of birth!

No, Kate Bush is not fond of talking about her private life. So, there isn't
much known about her 'little person'. That's why Popfoto listed the 15 
most ardent questions about Kate below...

Where do you live at this moment?
- I've got two houses. One in London and one in the country side. I don't
  tell you where...

  sweetest boy in the whole world!

Do you have kids?
- No.

Which instruments do you play?

What was your first group?
- The KT Bush Band, still my permanent accompanying group. My brother Paddy
  plays in that group as well.

  Kemp. Just like David Bowie, by the way.

Do you have hobbys?
- Yes, music and dance, of course. But I'd like to read as well.

What was your happiest experience in your life?
- My first number one hit, Wuthering Heights.

And your saddest?

[I think this must have been made up. I don't think she would say
 something like this.]
