Kate Bush St. Vincent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2023

Following Kate Bush’s video biography, St. Vincent featuring Annie Clark performed inductee Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” (6:40). On November 3, 2023, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at Barclays Center in New York. Billboard: Big Boi – who’s been stumping for Kate Bush’s unique genius way before her Stranger Things breakthrough – was the natural choice to offer an induction speech for the art rock icon, who sadly didn’t attend the ceremony in person (but sent in a heartfelt thanks). “I’m the White House press secretary for Kate Bush,” the OutKast MC joked. “It does not surprise me at all that she’s enjoyed a huge surge of popularity decades after she arrived on the scene,” he said, noting that if you’d only heard her for the first time in recent years, “Why wouldn’t you think she’s a current artist” St. Vincent, who said Bush’s 1989 classic The Sensual World left her “forever changed,” sang a haunting version of “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God).” Missy Elliott, Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, and the Spinners were inducted into the 2023 Rock Hall in a celebration at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
