bobs thoughts on life without paula,how he felt about michael hutchence and why he took on tiger lily,plus a tribute to michael,paula,and peaches,and photos of tiger lily hutchence.
"My real dad's a better singer than you" The honesty of child that Bob can appreciate. Inxs was one the best live bands that I have ever seen. I know that it's been said a million times, but Tiger Lily, beautiful in her own way, certainly resembles her father. And I mean that in a respectfully kind way.
Peaches was so very beautiful so very sad she's not here anymore miss her feistiness, style and beauty. Thanks for these lovely pictures as an everlasting reminder of her beauty
Millions watched her fall in love with Michael on that morning when she interviewed him on the bed her. Her marriage was over that morning and then the war of the roses begin how sad and just think what drugs do to a family 💔
I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Did u watch Michael Hutchence - 1997 US radio interview/tribute? its one of 2 (last) interviews he gave where he openly spoke about his love for you and your mum.
@@chetyoubetya8565 I think Michael's family may well have tried to poison her mind as they publicly blamed Paula for his demise. It was natural for them to hit out as they were hurting so much but to blame Paula for everything, no that was not right or fair.
that he is so kind and polite that he refused to fulfill the last wish of lily's grandmother poor grain she never met her child and aunt Tina what is it in that man to separate a child from her biological family
Wuau que tremenda historia y que desenlace creo que ningún ser humano debería sufrir ese dolor pero la vida y los sentimientos son tan enredosos que el ser humano no puede controlarlos entiendo a este hombre y su dolor yo perdí dos amores y sentí que mi vida no tenía sentido la tristeza me invadió por un largo tiempo hasta que el tiempo me dio la fuerza de seguir pero cuando muere alguien a quien amas es fatal auque también duele el desamor y la traición no se cual me dolió mas pero tal vez a eso venimos a superar obstáculos y pruebas pero este hombre tiene mi respeto siempre fui fan de michael pero pienso que el no estaba bien de su mente y Paula menos y más con drogas hojala La Niña tenga una vida saludable y no herede los problemas pero esto si fue una tragedia
Always felt in a rage of anger, Bob was deeply cruel & threatening to Michael in tht moment over the phone...Tiger should have been with Michael's Family, not so noble a thing on adopting..Although we all view from a distance not really knowing..just guessing.
mrs Macca I watched this because I was an INXS fan. Well, really a Michael Hutchence fan. No one can understand just how painful a custody battle is unless you have gone through one. The only way that you can go through one is if you have money. Attorneys don't come around without it. This man didn't want to lose all three of his daughters to another country! Who can't understand this is a liar.
I was thinking about this interview recently(saw it years ago) Inxs was my band since I was in highschool so I used to look at it all from Michael's view. I was mad about his death too. Then I had a daughter and a divorce and I see things from Bob's view now also. Bob is doing his best for them. Mistakes of the heart will always be hard to judge right or wrong. Love&peace to all of them, here and gone
Tiger was the most beautiful baby and so cute.....I so wish Micheal hadn't died, he would have gotten so much joy from his daughter, he loved her so much......there's no way he intended to kill himself...I'll never believe that...it was accidental...i believe he was so drugged up that he couldn't save himself...Paula was right..he would not have deliberately left Tiger.
There is a Track on MH Solo Album. "I can't save myself" Something like that was released in 1999. "Mystify" the new Documentary that may be able to reveal the real Front man behind INXS. I do think his death was an accident by throwing caution to the wind. ⛵
Wow seldom i saw a man show himself so sensitive and humble.A man that was the brains behind one of the greatest charity concerts of all time wich i will allways remember and then get hurt so bad in private life.Boy, how unfair can life be sometimes. And then this great great man , is showing his most vulnerable side.You can only be so very glad if you have a dad like bob.Greets from Holland!.
We only hear and see what the media chooses to show us. This interview is telling in that he admits Michael Hutchence didn’t kill himself. Also, I loathe when people say that BG was a good guy to "take on Tiger Lily".. I don't know why he adamantly fought for custody of Tiger Lily, but he won the custody battle with MH family. Maybe it was for the best or maybe not.. Nobody really knows the intimate truth of TL's life. It is a tragic and sad love story... Everyone involved got their hearts' broken in a million pieces. We all can agree 100% on that. The rest is a mystery to the fans of MH & PY. I hope they are together wherever Heaven is. BG did marry again and I wish him happiness and peace.
If you’re going to screw around do it before you have kids, they get dragged into a mess of your making. When money is involved the pain gets magnified. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do.
Yes Paula pursued both Bob and Michael. In fact, I read something regarding Paula performing oral sex on Bob when she first met him as a teen! She's a real pig. Michael's sister's book describes her being very nasty and pushy in front of Michael's girlfriend before Helena.
Bob's a decent man. The loss of Paula broke his heart - he's said that he still loves her and always will. Paula and Michael had no right to try to obtain custody of the three daughters of the marriage. She wanted Michael, Tiger AND her three older daughters. Yet her sudden descent into hard drug dependence - which in itself would have prevented her being given custody - began with Michael. She was obsessed with him, literally crazed with love. The stress of her situation slowly destroyed both Paula and Michael. Michael's death finished her off. Poor Tiger was orphaned and the older girls robbed of a mother whose grief proved too much to bear.
It's sad that the children lost their mother and really sad that tiger lost her mom and dad. Bob is an awesome man for wanting her to be with her sisters. My grandmother went through the same thing. She raised her husbands daughter by another woman. Not many people would do that.
Paula avait le droit d'aimer mais pas celui de se faire des rails de coke et de crack devant ses filles.Bob a dignement géré , PAIX et BONHEUR à Fifi Pixie et Tiger...............
Paula Cunningham Shennan yes I totally agree! It was important that the children should be away from drugs completely, and Paula not appearing to be strong enough to be healthy and clean, needed to get her act together which she could not tragically so! Michael making fun of Bob calling him St Bob was very cheap and bitter, by the looks of it, but no doubt was really determined for his lady and daughters to be happy with him!
So true. She summons poor Michael to court to help her in her custody battle he shouldn't have been dragged into. Paula first blamed bob to the press: stating Hutchence was never into s&m & that depression from the negative press was wearing him down. Many of her friends cooberated this in the bio by Lovegrove who said Paula was fearful for Michael because he was at a breaking point. He renewed his antidepressants & saw a therapist in October 97 (coroner intervie) . Paula changed her story for $$ from tabloids & because - as was rumored at the time - the estate needed to cast doubt on his manner of death to obtain the life insurance money that couldn't pay out in the event of suicide. Although Paula said she as challenging the coroner's report, she never did.
Que terrible tragedia: tres personas jóvenes fallecidas por la misma causa, drogas de por medio. Ninguno de los tres supo lidiar con sus demonios y sus pérdidas. Tiger Lilly huérfana de padre y madre a tan corta edad, luego las tres niñas mayores y posteriormente, dos angelitos.
Oh, Bob. I can feel your pain here. I’m so glad that you are in a much better place again now. I know at the time you would never have believed that possible.
Separations, divorces are always going to be hard on everyone involved, as we all know. And to be hounded by the press when your trying to live a somewhat normal existence, especially when children are involved , and with Michael, Paula & Bob being so famous must have been a nightmare!
No. Bob is not responsible for all this misery. I don't think anybody is. It's just a whole lot of passions that took control of them all, like a raging river nothing and nobody could stop. ... And, poor Bob and little Tiger Lily were the survivors left to somehow try and carry on, and, of course other remaining family members from all their families, who would have also been devastated by all these deaths. It would be the worst imaginable emotional night mare, as a woman. You marry a guy you beleive you love, have his babies, set up a home, stay married all the years Paula and Bob did. And then along comes a hearthrob young dude who completely blows you away. You know it's wrong to desire himand you love your husband and family, but the passion is too intense to stop. You know you are headed for disaster but cannot stop. The brakes no longer work. It would be a horrific situation to be in for a woman and you hope it never happens to you because the tragic end in such scenarios is inevitable. What would I have done on such a predicament? Get some counselling alone with a therapist, I think. Refuse to see the hearthrob. Stay focussed on the good husband And family I already had, help the handsome dude find so.e other lover and then have them both as family friends, take up some new hobby to gocusd on something other than "him". These strong infatuations do pass in time... Once the novelty wears off. Or it is no longer a passionate, jot, illicit affair. But, I always maintain that if a wife sees her husband as her secret illicit lover and je sees her as his wicked mistress, not his sweet little virginal perfect wife, they have a better chance of a lasting happy marriage. They can act like respectable normal Mr and Mrs Blah, in public. To keep people from getting alarmed about unconventional marriage. But they can be as they wish in private. Everybody knows that mistresses and their illicit lovers have all the fun, but it can get a bit too risky doing such things in reality. So why mot turn your husband into your secret illicit loverman, fantasy man? And you be his mistress? I did try that on my much younger husband I once married but he got pretty annoyed with me and reminded me he thought he had married a proper wife. I told him I was no prim proper wifey wife type. Just a female who wanted a permanent loverman companion guy I could fool around with and get up yo all sorts of mischief with him.. It is possible to love and respect one fine man and then end up swept off your feet by another and be left wondering how the hell you could have possibly ended up in such an emotional mess.. Moral of the story? Locate your STOP button and press it before it's too late and you and those involved end up self destructing from dangerous passions. Or find a safer outlet for them. Read a romance novel or even write a few movie scripts about dangerous passions etc. Compose music about these. Do paintings.... A creative person csn always find a way to express such passions. But many choose the wrong way....
@@joebloggs619 My belief is based on facts, since Paula left Bob the press turned against Michael and Paula, that morning the last Michael spoke to was Bob, and that conversation was fatal.
Poor guy... Inheriting all the ashes of this extinguished passion all around him... It would feel like emotional torture. But there's Tiger Lily, the living memory of it all, and the other children... To remember the good times by... Bob could feed off these good memories to carry on emotionally and somehow cancell out some of the emotional pain... I don't thi nk any of them deliberatrly set out to hurt each other. It's just how life sometimes happens. I know it is not slways a good thing to have too much passion in one's life, like Bob got. But the reverse, like d some people get, a life devoid of all such feelings would also be hell, of a different kind.What would I do in Bob's situation? Just accept what happened that cannot be undone. Cherish the good times had. They were special, never to be repeated, though a new lot of good times could happen, in a new story, perhaps with a new love, even in one's mature years... Leave that option open. Enjoy the legacy of the past eg the children, Tiger Lily, the child of such incredible passions... Bob would be very special to her. ...That's a form of love. Love does not have to be a person one is married to, though that can be nice... It can take many unusual forms and need not even involve humans. It could be love of abstract things, like ideas, thought, art, music, things that feel good, nature or even humanity, as distinct from individual people. We are often surrounded by love in its many forms, but we cannot feel it. Because we fail to notice and recognise it or we do notice and see it, but refuse to allow ourselves to feel its healing warmth and power. Because love hurt us so badly in the past and we fear it could happen again. Well, it could. But you don't have to give it permission to. You are in control of your feelings and who treats you how and can always locate your STOP switch and stop it all, if it is starting to hurt you too much. When one is young and inexperienced, it is hard to locate this STOP switch. But, as one matures and has had bad experiences with love, one gets better at knowing when to call it quits and vet out, before it's too late and too much emotional damage is done eg by bad, out control dangerous passions. Safer loving may not be as exciting. But it is not as scary as the other mind, either. And is better in one's later years, when vreater wisdom, stability and moderation can prevail. Noring, I know... That is why one needs imagination, art, music, creativity. To safely explore and enjoy otherwise dangerous passions, too potentially destructive to experience in real life.in the world of fantasies, you can be anything, be with anybody, do anything... Just make sure you always know exactly where the demarcation line between fantasy and reality is situated, to avoid insanity. It can easily become blurred, by various means... And don't try to act out your fantasies because they could be too dangerous. Or downright crazy, impractical, off the planet. But they are good to enjoy. Especially if one's current reality doesn't feel very good eg due to loneliness or poverty or ageing, grief, whatever. A bit of escapism can do wonders for the soul.
Bob Geldof is a wonderful and humble chap. The lyrics to Feed the World which he co wrote with Midge Ure are probably the best words ever used in a song.
Paula Yates should have had some self control instead of egging Michael on when on that bed. She had Bob and three little girls ... what more did she want. Sorry but deeply hurting others for your own selfishness has a boomerang effect It can never have a happy ending. Call it the law of nature if you want. I remember watching her father Jesse Yates on Stars on Sunday in the late seventies. He'd be horrified at the family scandals. Just hope Tiger Lily doesn't follow in her mother's foot steps.
Not anyone will adopt kid from ex wife and a lover. Only true human man would do that. Like Bob. He never blamed the kid for his divorce, never spoke bad about her parents, never get angry at her for being child of his wife and her lover. He never through her away and give her to her natural grandparents. He fought for her like she was his own. He deserved the title Sir of humanity.
I think this whole dynamic is tragic. Bob loved Paula !! She was his princess. His true love. Paula was 'in love' with Michael. RIP Paula. Sir Bob shows his humanitarian side. Accepting Tiger is just beautiful. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖
Michael, Geldof y Yates. el trío destructivo del rock. El primero, hombre talentoso, uno de los mejores cantantes del mundo, millonario y ni qué hablar de su belleza. Geldof, que jamás superaría todas las cualidades de Hutch porque estaba a años luz de cada una de ellas, a pesar del Live Aid. Yates, la mujer en discordia. Geldof, el hombre más odiado (me gustaría usar otra palabra pero no la encuentro), vio su ego y su hombría destrozada cuando su mujer lo dejó por alguien con cualidades de las que el carecía. Michael, que no supo ver en la relación tóxica en la que se metía. Yates, jugando con los dos. Único resultado: luchas de egos; destrucción total de los tres, que además agregó desgracia a dos hijas; una viva y con una eterna tristeza, indudable trofeo que es a lo que pudo aspirar Geldof; otra, que se suicidó delante de una foto de su madre y que también dejó orfandad en sus hijos y a los que Geldof deberá seguir dando explicaciones. Posible final. Si Geldof no hubiera retenido indirectamente a Tiger, Paula con el tiempo hubiera vuelto con el (que es lo que Geldof quería). Hutch, hubiera tenido otra relación o, probablemente con el asentamiento de los años, hubiera vuelto con Michelle (de la que nunca en realidad se separó y que fue su gran amor). Tiger, con sus dos padres vivos (juntos o no) tendría seguramente, una vida más feliz que la que lleva ahora. Cada vez que miro sus ojos, me da tremenda pena. RIP para Michael. RIP para Paula. Paz para el corazón de Geldof, quien hoy no sería el hombre más odiado.
Muy acertado tu comentario! Me encanto la frase el trío destructivo del rock, Mike no se daba cuenta que estaba en una relación tóxica? Bob también cometio el error de no valorar como mujer a Paula Yates cuando era su esposa por lo que la llevo a buscar algo más en Mike Hutch! Por eso Paula se enamoró de Mike!
Bob no le dio la custodia de sus hijas a Paula para pasar la Navidad con Mike Hutch y Paula junto a Tiger, ellas no tenían por qué ser víctimas y menos convertirse en rehenes del divorcio de Bob y Paula!
People talk about the 'substances' Paula and Michael may have engaged in, but forget, the stress of the 'fight' drove them to at times, 'use' as a means to cope. This is common reason where addictions 'begin'. In any event 'using' people can be 'functional' users anyway. People who trash Paula and Michael for coping with substances, forget they were capable and still functional. No evidence any child was impacted. The press and unfortunately Bob's side intended to pretend they were not capable; this was the big lie among others that destroyed Paula Michael. I do agree to look after TL was a no brainer. Still about the most tragic story of our lifetimes.
Bob planted drugs in Paula's and Michael home in London with the nanny while Paula and Michael were in Sydney and Bob was one of the last people Michael spoke to on the phone the night he died they were rowing over Paula . Bob made it worst .
Agree. Michael was im a state that night after speaking to Bob because Bob refused to let his daughters go to see Michael in Australia, with Paula. Bob was spiteful and jealous of Michael. When Bob kept the kids and Paula from him( I believe after MANY rifts), Michael gave up. Paula also could never get over Michaels death and spiraled after that.
@@soniagordon2799 It's all very sad I think Paula was a really decent human she fell in love with Michael she had a poster of him on her fridge and Bob wrote something nasty on it then ripped it off the fridge he is immature doing that. I really think if Bob hadn't made it so hard for them to be together as a family they would both be still here.
@soniagordon2799 why didn t Paula just take tiger lily and leave the 3 other girls with Bob also Michael abd probably Psula were heavy into drugs by then I font blame Bob
He's very sensitive you can tell. He may not have shown it. He was trying to protect the kidsvduring the divorce. But it's sad it backfired in him in the end. He lost more than he bargained for. He only had three years with her Bob had 19 years with Paula. But her real love was Micheal for sure. She couldn't get over it.
A truly wonderful man.. Father and to take on Tiger is to his credit! He truly loves Michael and Paulas daughter and has proven that over and over again.. God bless you Sir Bob♥️♥️♥️♥️
Bob Geldof says it's a no brainer to take on his ex wife's child but not everyone would do that ...I loved the Boomtown Rats growing up and the concerts he put together for FEED THE WORD in the 80's...But he's a an extra special guy ...He's raised another man's child as his own and for that to me he's an inspiration ...
I think it’s a shame they became involved and had a child together. Almost impossible for them to be together. She should have put her children’s feelings and well being before her own. This is why I dislike her!!
She wanted out of her marriage and said Bob had affairs and was controlling. Claire King said she had an affair with Bob and that they had an open relationship. "Wonderful" dad Bob sent his kids to school the day after their mother died and they weren't allowed to mourn, according to Peaches. Paula discussed leaving Bob in the Christmas of 93, before she hooked up with Michael. Friend Jo Fairley said a desperate Paula met in her car for an hour talking about wondering who'd take her where she had kids and wanting to get away from Bob. See Paula Yates Unruly Hearts Oliver James article.
have much respect for bob...i mean how much man have take and give?Inxs,for sure one of greatest gang ,mindblowing.michael appereance,singing...from the out of space.
