Kate Bush – Rocket Man
Kate Bush – Rocket Man (1991)
Directed by: Kate Bush
A haunting, reggae-tinged rendition of Elton John’s 1972 classic, Kate Bush’s 1991 cover flips the song into a moody black-and-white performance piece. Directed by Bush herself, the video features her playing ukulele with her band amid stark lighting, paying tribute to late guitarist Alan Murphy by leaving his unplayed guitar on an empty chair. Released as a single from the tribute album *Two Rooms* on November 25, 1991, and officially reissued in December, the song reached No. 12 in the UK and No. 2 in Australia.
