"Kate Bush has said that she was surprised to have been awarded a CBE in the Queen&amp;#039;s New Year&amp;#039;s Honours List. Bush was given the accolade for her services to music.    &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a great surprise and I&amp;#039;m really delighted. Thanks to everyone who&amp;#039;s encouraged and supported my work over the years,&amp;quot; she said. The singer released her tenth studio album 50 Words For Snow in 2011. Bush&amp;#039;s career began in 1978 when her single &amp;#039;Wuthering Heights&amp;#039; hit number one in the UK singles chart.  She has since gone on to release a string of classic albums including &amp;#039;The Kick Inside&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Hounds Of Love&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;The Red Shoes&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;The Sensual World&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Aerial&amp;#039;.  Cyclist Bradley Wiggins, actor Ewan McGregor and artist Tracey Emin were among the other names to be honoured by the Queen.
