Kate Bush honoured at London Evening Standard Theatre Awards

Kate Bush was on hand to receive a gong at this year's London Evening Standard Theatre Awards.

The ceremony was held at the London Palladium on Sunday (November 30) as a host of big names were honoured.

Bush won the Editor's Award for her sold-out Before The Dawn residency at the Hammersmith Apollo in London between August and October.

She appeared in person to collect the prize from Sir Ian McKellen, thanking her fans for "driving us on and filling us with energy".

The Evening Standard said that Bush's theatrical live show - her first gigs since 1979 - set a "new high in music performance".

Other winners on the night included Tom Hiddleston (Best Actor) and Gillian Anderson (Best Actress).

Speaking previously meanwhile about her residency after completing the 22-date run, Bush said on her website:

"It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. I loved the whole process. Particularly putting the band, the Chorus and the team together and watching it all evolve.

"It really was the ultimate combination of talent and artists, both from the music business and the theatre world. I never expected everyone in the team to be so lovely and we all grew very close. We became a family and I really miss them all terribly."
