    Kate Bush to perform at Olympic Closing Ceremony?
    Or is it mere coincidence that she is releasing a 2012 remix of Running up that Hill...?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Running-That...4336974&sr=8-2

    Wasn't sure where to post this so I have posted it in Music and London 2012

    See... I love that song, but, only when it's Placebo's version. I could quite happily throw Kate Bush down a steep hill.

    Also that link doesn't work, which is quite disappointing.

    The link no longer works as Amazon has removed it due to the closing ceremony speculation.

    Ah I see!

    It'll be interesting to see who performs, considering all the rumours.

    I'd love this to happen! It's a long shot, but she has said in the past that she'd like to perform live again. For the record, the original version of Running Up That Hill is vastly superior to Placebo's. :proud:

    She should do This Woman's Work, I don't care if it's too depressing

    I'm still trying to remain optimistic, but I've seen this too.

    Oh, please let it be true! What with all the Jessie J/Spice Girls stuff I've been feeling really doubtful about the Closing Ceremony; Kate would be amazing, though

    And Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill can't compare to Kate's. Nuh uh :nah:

    Really hope this is true!! Would be such a pleasant antidote from 1D/Spice Girls. Seeing as she rarely appears in public it makes it that much more special for her to perform
