Del Palmer, a musician and engineer who worked closely with Kate Bush on the majority of her albums, has died. Bush wrote a tribute to her late collaborator on her website, praising his talent and creativity. “I’m going to miss him terribly,” she wrote. He was 71.
Palmer was a member of Bush’s early live band, and following her debut The Kick Inside, he played bass on many of her recordings from 1978’s Lionheart up until her most recent album, 2011’s 50 Words for Snow. For many years, he was romantically involved with Bush. He was a self-taught engineer who worked behind the boards on her albums from 1985’s Hounds of Love onward. He released a series of solo albums beginning with 2007’s Leap of Faith.
