He is the Only Child of Kate Bush and her husband, Danny McIntosh
Albert McIntosh was born sometime in May 1998 to Kate Bush and Danny McIntosh in London. His parents are talented musicians with his mother gaining wide acclaim as a singer, songwriter, and producer while his father is mostly known for playing the guitar.
He was born the couple’s only child. His Identity was kept secret by his famous parents. However, this changed five years later when another musician, Peter Gabriel who collaborated with Bush on Dont Give Up let it slip.

More on his earlier years, Albert’s family moved to Devon in 2005 after they bought a home worth Β£2.5m. Based on this, we can say that he likely attended schools in the area.
Albert Inspired His Mother to Return to the Stage After Many Years
On October 2, 2014, The Man With the Child in His Eye crooner returned to a headline performance at the Before the Dawn concert.Β During the event held at the London Hammersmith Apollo, Bush revealed that the 22-night residency wouldn’t have been possible without the support of her son Bertie.
Prior, his mother had garnered wide acclaim with a music career she launched at the age of 19. This led to the release of several hit songs and successful albums. After she gave birth to him, Albert became an important part of her life and she reflected this by naming a track after him in her 2005 album Aeriel.
Apart from this, one thing that makes her stand out among other famous singers is that she makes little public appearances to make time for her family. No wonder, her fans get overly excited each time she makes a live performance
One such was her 2014 performance which was a thrilling one. She stated that Albert pushed her, especially during the early days of the preparation. He provided creative input for the show as well as moral support.
The then 14-year-old had realized the stakes involved and worked hard to see his mother’s comeback work out. He had to balance his schoolwork and commitment to the show. Moreso, the show was fixed to coincide with his school holidays.
