Kate Bush writes open letter in support of axed 'The Voice' contestant

Kate Bush, reclusive pop legend and newly-appointed Commander of the British Empire, has admitted something very few music industry greats would be comfortable in sharing: she’s a big fan of UK reality TV show/music talent contest The Voice.

So much so that she’s penned a letter of grief, bemoaning the loss of former contestant Liam Tamne, who lost his place in the competition over the weekend.

Bush posted on her official website:

“I was sad to see that Liam didn’t get through on the Voice this week. It must be so tough for all the performers who don’t stay in the show.

Liam, you mustn’t be disheartened. You really have a special talent and you’re a fantastic singer. You’ve already been heard and appreciated by a huge audience. Try not to be too disappointed. Just keep going. I’m sure that your nan would be very proud of you having achieved so much. Good luck with all your future projects.

Very best wishes,
Kate”

The singer came to the singer’s attention after covering one of his song’s in a previous round. Tamne, in response, wrote on his Facebook page: “I love this Lady so much. This is Fantastic. Thank You Kate Bush.”
