The TV presenter daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, Peaches Geldof, has died at age 25 in England, Bob Geldof confirmed.
“Peaches has died. We are beyond pain,” her father said in a statement. “She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing ‘was’ destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?”
HSK documented one of Peaches’ wild drug fueled sexcapades (here) back in 2010. Sadly, this comes with little surprise. We only wait for the official caused to be released as suicide or overdose, both virtually one in the same.
Police said she was found dead at an address near Wrotham after they were called to the scene following a “report of concern for the welfare of a woman.”
“At this stage, the death is being treated as an unexplained and sudden death,” Kent Police told FOX411 in a statement. “Officers are working to establish the circumstances around the death.”
HSK also uncovered Peaches Geldof may have held the key to the details behind the overdose of another celebrity daughter, Alia, the daughter of the late singer, Teena Marie. Alia had been on a heroin binge with Peaches and celebrity hanger-on, Phlo Finister.
Geldof began her career as a columnist for Elle magazine at the age of 15.
She went on to write for British newspapers the Telegraph and the Guardian and later presented for ITV2’s “OMG! with Peaches Geldof.”
She was active in the fashion world, and was a frequent attendee at fashion shows. She was photographed last week at a show in London, and was married to British band S.C.U.M’s lead singer Thomas Cohen. Together they had two sons, aged 1 and 2.
“My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra, and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day. We shall love her forever,” Cohen said in a statement.
Geldof lost her mother Paula Yates to a drug overdose when she was just 11 years old.
“I remember the day my mother died, and it’s still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out,” she told Elle in 2012. “I didn’t grieve. I didn’t cry at her funeral. I couldn’t express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn’t start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16.”
She also admitted to drug use but said she was “never that wild.”
“I did experiment with drugs, I did get drunk and go to parties, but I was never that wild,” she told the magazine. “I could have been, I could have let myself spiral but all the time I remembered what happened to my mum.”
Geldof was previously married to musician Max Drummey but the couple separated in 2009 after six months of marriage.
She is survived by her husband, sons, father and sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie and half-sister Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.
If you live hard, you’re gonna die hard. R.I.P.
I take no pleasure whatsoever in saying that many predicted she would end up just like her mother and her surrogate stepfather Michael Hutchence. Very sad.
Another one bites the dust… Sacrifice, maybe? It’s ritual time….
Incredibly sad. She was an avid follower of satanist Aleister Crowley and flirted with Scientology before that. The poor girl, although from Wealthy background was lost and looking for spiritual fulfillment in all the wrong places.
I hope this ain’t the BIG H!
My how theatrical his poem oops statement sounds.
In this article it mentioned she was friends with Teena Marie’s daughter Alia who suffered the same fate. I hope that is not true about Teena’s daughter.I’ve never heard of this young lady but may she rest in peace.
Teena marie daughter is not dead.
Tale this with a grain of salt, but The Daily Mail is hinting that age was anorexic and bulimic and she may have suffered an organ shutdown or a heart attack. She was tweeting and sounding very upbeat as late as Sun. afternoon. Everyone’s hoping she didn’t OD like her mom. They say that Bob Geldof is destroyed by this.
I don’t know I have found Daily Mail to be pretty good with the info, esp. and surprisingly, U.S. information.
bob Geldof destroyed Michael Hutchence by basically kidnapping his daughter (Peaches’) sister and he committed suicide after the infamous phone call with Geldof.
Funny how shit come back around, eh?
I was thinking the very same thing. This family has so much drama and skeleton bones flying out the closet it ain’t funny. Devil in the puddin’ oh for sho.
No Teena marie’s daughter is not dead….you can stil OD and not die from it…..
I never knew Alia OD’d. That was the real tea here, Jacky. TYVM.
But Peaches’ passing is sad. 2 kids and 2 husbands, only to perish at age 25. Such a horrific situation. I’m certain there’s more to her story than will ever be revealed. RIP.
The look in her eyes is haunting. I’ve seen that same empty look in the eyes of (may they rest in peace) Tupac, Sly’s son (middle name Moonblood) Nicole, Heath Ledger and many others. Hollyweird ain’t no joke.
A year older then me and she’s gone wow it really is God’s time. Rip
Peaches was a proud follower of the OTO, Aleister Crowley cult.
something just isn’t right with the story that they are saying it is not suspicious and yet haven’t given any explanation as to why she just mysteriously died at 25 .. I don’t buy the story for one bit as I don’t buy many other celeb death stories .. I think they are hiding something and just can’t or won’t tell . Same thing with Phillip Seymour Hoffman he had a story but they put the drug overdose story on him as they did Heath Ledger .. Something fishy is always happening in Hollywood .. it’s a tough business to stay alive in
How in the hell did Bob Geldof kidnap Mike Hutchense daughter? Mike died in 97, Paul yates od’d in 2000 and the daughter was with her up until that time. As a matter of fact, the daughter was there when her mother died and found her. He took the girl after Paul died.
Paula, not Paul. I don’t know what happened with my a’s
Maybe your a’s are hiding somewhere with my i’s. 🙂
Here’s the 411 on Phlo Finister;
She has been using heroin since the age of 16. She met Peaches Geldof through a mutual friend in Los Angeles, 2010, when Peaches was living in the US. They shared an apartment in Hollywood for a while and Phlo followed her back to London – they remained friends until Peaches’ untimely death in April 2014.
The two of them did heroin together and Phlo is allegedly still very much into that scene. In 2012, there was a rumor circulating the internet that the late singer Teena Marie’s daughter, Alia Rose, had overdosed on Mother’s day in 2011, while she was doing heroin with Peaches and Phlo.
It was Phlo who leaked the story to an American celebrity gossip website. She has been best friends with Alia Rose for many years and Teena Marie even took her in during her high school years, but Phlo is desperate for fame and uses people to get attention for herself without the consideration of others.
Her fame-whoring ways go beyond normal; she name-drops Peaches in every interview she gives and when asked what brand she would like to model for and why, she answered: “Dolce & Gabbana because Peaches is endorsed by them”. She has also recently signed with Kirsty Williams – the same agent that Peaches was signed with.
Phlo supposedly brought heroin around Peaches while she was on methadone and attempting to get clean, which undoubtedly sparked Peaches’ destructive side and reminded her of the youth she sometimes felt she lost out on by having children at an early age.
On July 26, Phlo posted two new photos of Peaches children, Astala and Phaedra, on her Instagram page, knowing that the family is deliberately keeping the boys out of the media following their mother’s death. The photos have since been removed due to controversy among fans of Peaches, which came to Phlo’s attention because she has a Google alert for her own name and reads everything that’s being written about her on the internet.
