In April 2014, Sir Bob Geldof’s daughter Peaches was found dead at her home at the age of 25 after a heroin overdose – the same way her mother Paula Yates tragically died 14 years earlier.
Now, Bob, 68, has opened up about his grief, confessing it never goes away.
‘Time doesn’t heal, it accommodates,’ he recently said in an interview on Irish chat show The Tommy Tiernan Show. ‘It is boundless and it is bottomless, the grief, the abyss is infinite.’
The Boomtown Rats frontman described his daughter as ‘the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us,’ in his statement when Peaches died.
And, in an interview with Event magazine, Bob explains how he always allows himself to cry if he’s missing her – even if there are other people around.
‘I’ll be sitting there at the traffic lights and I’ll feel myself starting to weep and I think “you’re weeping”, then I begin to really sob, racking sobs,’ he admits.
