"The world has lost someone incredibly special." Kate Bush pays tribute to friend lost in Devon swimming tragedy

Kate Bush.

Kate Bush has paid tribute to a personal friend, antique dealer Matthew Upham, who was lost at sea during a Christmas Day swim at a beach in Budleigh Salterton.

Upham was one of two men who went missing during a Christmas Day swim in the East Devon town, some 15 miles south east of Exeter. Although no weather warnings had been issued, high winds generated strong sea swells, and many participants got into trouble within minutes of entering the water. Emergency services were called at approximately 10.25 am.
