After being absent since 1979, Kate Bush has finally returned to the stage.  The renowned singer performed in the Hammersmith Apollo in west London, the same venue where she announced she wouldn’t be performing live 35 years ago.

She received a standing ovation as she closed the Tuesday show, the first out of 22 shows titled Before the Dawn, and thanked her thrilled fans for their ‘’warm and positive response’’.

Among the numerous fans who witnessed her comeback were also several celebrities.  Madonna, Bjork and David Bowie were rumored to be present, while Lily Allen confirmed she was in the crowd via Twitter.

Hammersmith, 15 minutes before Kate Bush comes on . Mood: Christmas like hysteria.
