Who Is Kate Bush? Details on the ‘Stranger Things 4’ Musician

Kate Bush is an English singer, songwriter and producer. In 1978, she topped the U.K. single chart for four consecutive weeks with her debut song, “Wuthering Heights.” At the age of 19, Bush became the first female artist to achieve a U.K. number one with a self-written song. The musician went on to release 25 U.K. Top 40 singles and ten studio albums that reached the U.K. Top 10.

Since she released her seventh studio album, The Red Shoes, Kate Bush has pretty much disappeared from the public eye. She welcomed her son, Albert, in 1998. Bush made her musical return in 2005, with her eighth studio album titled Aerial. Ever since then, she has been living in South Devon, England, with her family. But, she came out of retirement in 2014 to go on a concert residency tour, called Before the Dawn. This marked the first time she has gone on tour since 1979’s The Tour of Life.

In the premiere episode, Max (Sadie Sink) becomes the target of Hawkins' new villain: Vecna, who preys on people in their dreams (sounds very Freddie Kruger-esque). She is grieving the loss of her step-brother, Billy (Dacre Montgomery), who died at the end of season three.

In one scene, Max is listening to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” to avoid her classmates at Hawkins High School, as she grapples with Billy’s death. The song was the first single off the singer’s 1985 album, Hounds of Love.
