Kate Bush has had the work of convicted sexual assault perpetrator Rolf Harris removed from the new remaster of her 2005 ‘Aerial’ album.
Harris provided a spoken word part in the track ‘An Architect’s Dream’ and on ‘A Painters Link’. Kate’s son Albert ‘Bertie’ McIntosh, who performed the part on the ‘Before The Dawn’ shows, has replaced Harris and is credited on the new edition.
‘Aerial’ was the second album Harris played on for Bush. The first was 1982’s ‘The Dreaming’. Harris played didgeridoo on the title track and that one seems to have been left in place for the reissues.
Rolf Harris was found guilty of 12 counts of sexual assault in 2014.
