Kate Bush CBE

Today singer Kate Bush received an honor from the Queen. Her majesty bestowed the honor of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire on Kate Bush. The order is the second highest honor in the British Empire. The only honor higher would be to be made a Dame, the female equivalent of a Lord.
Kate Bush, age 54, came to fame at the age of 19 when her song "Wruthering Heights" was number one on the British music charts for four weeks. She was the first woman to have a self written number hit in the UK. Bush's 40 year career has produced 10 albums and 3 Grammy award nominations.
