Six years after the disappearance of his daughter Peaches, Bob Geldof struggles to rebuild himself. As he told the Daily Mail , the singer of the Boomtown Rats remains "haunted" by the memory of his child who died of an heroin overdose in 2014. If he did everything to help him , the artist knew that she was inhabited by an evil that went beyond her.
"She was always in a frantic state when she was little. She couldn't sleep. And it continued throughout his childhood. She was a very intelligent, sweet and eccentric girl. There was always this frenzy, this constant panic in his eyes. See the song by the great Leonard Cohen, Famous Blue Raincoat ? It says, "Thank you for the concern you found in her eyes, I thought it was there for good, so I never tried." Well, I tried, "said the co-founder of Live Aid.
"She was free to go"
Aware of his daughter's drug problems, Bob Geldorf took her to rehab in 2013 in Utah, in the United States. "She ran away from there. I tried to stop him outside the door, but there's nothing you can do. She was free to go, ”he remembered.
Peaches Geldof died at the age of 25, leaving behind two children, Astala and Phaedra, born of her marriage to musician Thomas Cohen. The young woman died in circumstances similar to her mother, Paula Yates, presenter and ex-partner of Michael Hutchence, the singer of INXS who committed suicide in 1997.
