A Deeper Look at the Bizarre Tale of the Would-Be Kate Bush Paramour
You may have read recently about Frank Tufaro, a 32 year-old unemployed New York artist, who showed up uninvited at Kate Bush’s seaside country estate in Devon. Although he appeared at the door on December 26, the story has been kept quiet until now.
Frank came bearing a gift: a $5,000 Tiffany ring made of gold, diamonds and sapphires. His goal? To propose marriage.
The UK media is on the story but some Kate Bush fans have been documenting things for weeks. This is truly bizarre–and frightening.
First, how it Tufaro find the reclusive Kate’s home? GPS coordinates he downloaded. He just fed them to the cab driver, who took him to the house on a £240 fare.
Kate wasn’t home at the time, so Frank broke a window and let himself in. But then after about eight minutes, he says panic took over so he ran away. Neighbours called the cops who responded in force (including a helicopter) and grabbed Tufaro as he lugged his suitcase down a country road.
When asked what his deal was, Tufaro replied that he’d been obsessed with Kate since he first became aware of her as a teenager.
His appearance at her door wasn’t exactly unannounced, either. He’d sent her a long string of tweets and emails proclaiming his love and his intentions of asking for her hand in marriage.
The Daily Mail fills in some other details:
He flew to Heathrow before checking in to the ultra-modern boutique W Hotel in London’s Leicester Square, where the best suites cost up to £6,000 a night.
During his stay Tufaro recorded a video as he danced around his luxury room in a tracksuit while singing along to hip-hop songs.
At one point he unlocked a safe to reveal the gift-wrapped ring as he shouted: ‘Boom! Badda! That’s how I roll.’
Upon arrest, Tufaro was detained until the Mental Health Act before being deported back the US on January 6.
Perhaps someone should look at the tweets sent out by someone with the Twitter handle @frankster411. This sample stream of tweets–available for anyone to see with a simple Twitter search–begins December 19.

are you in london…your neighbor with the alzhiemers and his partner caught me jumping the fence out and said u were in london
was cool to see it in person..i went around and got there and jumped the fence all the doors were locked except for the back car door
car smelled like it hadn’t been used in a while…i didn’t like that much..it was sad to see the house like that..i envisioned it being
bursting with light and life even if it were only you
but it was as dead as a door nail
i ended up in a field high above ur house it was freezing rain and wind and i was running in mud and soaked
it looked like there was some baby toys or something…looked kind of rundown..maybe its just summer place or something but i felt sad 4 u
i saw ur easel and some paint stuff
i was at ur crib…
I’m getting on the plane soon i should see u in around 2 hours …beautiful mama

englands beloved kate bush and literally laugh about it the rest of my life…i am finally at peace with this uunique brand of warfare
i caught myself fantisizing earlier about not seeing you on the eve and then going to the crib and lacing it w gas & watching it burn luv it

I put my foot on the infared scanner and hoped it. I was so mad that i tried to break the fence down and your neighbor with dementia
Your security systems are really hilarious. I jumped that fence in three seconds.
@JoeyOhara_ your Devon house looked like shit.
Enjoy the debate because discusion is closed as of the 25th, providing I dont’t have Kate Bush in my arms by Christmas Eve.
If I see you in person on Christamas Eve, we will have an incredible life together. I will stay with you till death,
Congratulations Kate, you still have it. How and where would you like to meet on Christmas Eve?

Kate bush smells
Did u purposefully want people to stare at ur pussy during the babushka video and if so why?
I’m so in love with u
Danny just texted me and said it’s impossible to tell the difference between ur asshole and pussy
(JAN 8)
well, when ur ready to make a commitment and actually be with me in person …then i wont let anything bad happen to u ever…i promise
(JAN 11)
@katebushmusic what happened with all of my christmas presents?
It’s time for Kate bush to start investing her own money into this project cause me and my family are really close to totally broke
Could SIr Elton John and Sir Steven Fry reach out to Kate and ask her to either financially reimburse 4 my losses & project expenses moving
Forward or stop hacking into all my devices and accts and leave me alone or let me crash at her house. Thanks for ur help with this
(JAN 14)
@katebushmusic so dont get it twisted mama.im the star hear & Im only letting u have a piece of my world & when i cut u off its a nightmare
@katebushmusic can’t figure out why, but the Daily Mail article didn’t publish a good pic of the promise ring tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.…
@KateBushMusic where u being truthful when u said u had acquired over 80 gigs of data from me as a result of u persuing me for last 2 years?
@katebushmusic well u cant respond cause uve been oficialy deleted. considering the result id guess u’d opt 4 a diferent batch o baby batter
@katebushmusic if u had 2 do it all over again would u use a different sperm donor to conceive young Arnold Bertie?
@katebushmusic when is u & ur dildo’s anniversary? ill send u some disinfectant spray so you can wash that thing off (vomits on keyboard)
@katebushmusic ur just another person 2 me when ur not hacked in2 my stuff. how do u feel about not having privileged access to me? nervous?
@katebushmusic when do i get half of your dough?
@katebushmusic HA UVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF ALL MY DEVICES AGAIN! VICTORY U FUCKIN SCUMBAG!!!
(JAN 15)
@katebushmusic i seem to have no legal recourse and no one is willing to step in on my behalf and so the longer this continues the greater @katebushmusic the chances that u will end up dead or in the hospital
@katebushmusic im starving…i think if i had the opportunity right now i would put a bullet in ur head and just deal with the consequences @katebushmusic i want the money back that u made me falsely spend and i want u to stop hacking into my personal prop and stop harassing me
That individuals needs to kept at a safe distance and sedated from those thoughts.
I hope she gets better security and he gets put in the nut house (he sounds dangerous).
Wow, someone is off their meds!
Looking farther back on his Twitter account: more disturbing stuff:

Frank James Tufaro you really are a tortured soul…i actually feel pitty for you
24 November 2011 at 14:17
Frank James Tufaro i really deserve a thank you for being the inspiration to such a tortured soul…so much so that, that tortured soul was able to put together 2 albums in 6 months, after not making an album in 18 years…while gazing upon my greatness every moment of everyday for the past 2 years..while interacting with me through fake profiles on Facebook…there is a good possibility that i may be one of the greatest men on planet earth right now…i mean to inspire such a "legend" (see above and below)..i really must be the most incredible man you have ever known..Kate i don't care if you're marred..you know you wanna fuck me…c'mon lets meet in Paris…Ill pay for the whole thing…and if your pain in the ass husband shows up, ill distract him with a shinny quarter and punch him in the face
24 November 2011 at 14:31
Frank James Tufaro i want 51% of the publishing on both albums..thats 51% of "Directors Cut" and 51% of "50 Words for Snow". NOW YOU CHEAP BITCH!!! THATS MY FUCKIN MONEY!!

Frank James Tufaro if it wasn't for me neither album would exist…and evidently neither would you
24 November 2011 at 14:32
