 * Kate Bush releases new single Breathing, her first new material since 1978. The song causes some controversy as the lyrics were written from the point of view of an unborn baby, still in the womb, fearing the effects of both its mother's cigarette smoking and the danger of nuclear fallout in the outside world. The single, the lead track from Bush's album Never For Ever released later in the year, entered the charts at the end of April and reached a peak position of no.16 in May.
