Kate Bush has rubbished rumours that she’s planning an upcoming tour, saying that she’s far too “engrossed” in writing her new album to even think about making a live return.

The star sparked speculation after she recently commented that she would make a return to the stage before she became “too ancient.”

However, in an interview with BBC 6 Music, the singer said: "I haven't got any plans to do any live shows whatsoever. I'm very much engrossed in trying to making new material," Bush said. "I'm extremely flattered that people are interested."

Kate Bush has not actually had a tour since her one and only jaunt in 1979. "People always presume I didn't enjoy that tour. I did enjoy it," she clarified.
