Kate Bush expresses heartbreak over missing friend, Matthew Upham, after he went missing during a Christmas Day swim in Devon. Upham, an antiques dealer and close friend of Bush for 30 years, was described as kind, thoughtful, and fun-loving. The coastguard's search operation for Upham, who was known as a strong swimmer, was called off after he and another man could not be located in Budleigh Salterton. The family and friends of Upham are grieving his loss, and the community appreciates the efforts of emergency services during this difficult time.
