First Kanye West supports Donald Trump and now Kate Bush is gushing over Theresa May. It hasn't been a good week for iconic artists and their political views.
In a new interview with Canadian publication Maclean's, Kate praises the Conservative leader, calling her "wonderful" and stating that she think's May is "the best thing that's happened to us in a long time."
"We have a female prime minister here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she's wonderful," she said. "She's a very intelligent woman but I don't see much to fear. I will say it is great to have a woman in charge of the country. She’s very sensible and I think that’s a good thing at this point in time." While she may stand behind her statements, a lot of her fans have taken to Twitter to denounce the artist.
Upon learning that Kate Bush is a Tory, I now feel vindicated that I've always considered her to be shrill and overrated.

I need some comfort and stability in life and now I can't even trust my Kate Bush

Show your disdain for Kate Bush by tweeting a link to one of the many terrible punk covers of "Wuthering Heights".
