Bob Geldof Was ‘Extremely Angry’ With Peaches When She Died

Bob Geldof has admitted that he was angry with his daughter, Peaches, when she passed away from a heroin overdose in April 2014.

The mum-of-two was just 25 years old.

Whilst Bob was keen to clarify that he loved Peaches “to the core of his soul”, he explained that most of his emotion was anger rather than crying when he first learned of her death.

Speaking to The Mirror, Bob shared: “At the time, with Peaches I mean, immediately afterwards, I was extremely angry with her and probably that was the energy you discerned, it wasn’t a positive thing at all.

“I watch against myself getting drippy or sentimental about either of them [Peaches and her mother Paula Yates], although I loved them to the core of my soul and still do.

“I’m not incontinent with my blubbing but when the need arises, I do. I think male crying is somehow different, it seems to come and last a bit and then it goes.”

Tom Cohen, who was married to Peaches and is the father of her two sons, has been channeling his heartache for her passing in music, paying tribute to the late star through his songs.

One part reads: “Sleeping alone, it’s hard to go on in our country home, where we belong. Sing to me one last time.

“Your sun is still shining. Hold my hand as the sea becomes a storm.”
