I'm flattered by Kate Bush comments: Cara Dillon

Singer Cara Dillon is flattered when people compare her to Kate Bush and admits she's a big fan of the singer.

The 38-year-old is a big fan of the "Wuthering Heights" himaker and couldn't wait to get tickets for her first live shows in 35 years at London's Hammersmith Apollo later this year, reports contactmusic.com.

Talking about people comparing her to the star, Dillon told BANG Showbiz: ''Oh my God, I'm like Kate Bush's number one fan, so that is such a compliment.

"Maybe it might be because it's not conventional (what she sings) and it's quite soul-stirring. The songs I tend to sing are ones which have stood the test of time and I think you can hear that, I'm telling people stories using my voice. Kate's an amazing woman, she's back [and] I've got my ticket.

''I loved the fact that she never really compromised anything that she was doing, she just did it herself. The kind of things she was singing about were incredible really, I think she's an inspiration to most female artists out there and paved the way for a lot of people," she added.
