MightyJordan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've never heard of this person. Her dad's famous; ergo she was considered famous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Her dad's famous; ergo she was considered famous too.well that's a bit simplified as at least in her joke country she was somewhat known as well. Look at what she's been doing for work and who she is/was married to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I feel bad for her kids. I mean, look the way Paula passed away, you'd have thought someone would have had an eye on Peaches. But, yeah she was a known cocaine and heroin user, but also speculation is depression leading to suicide. I care little for her, same as I felt about her mother - but, her kids, and poor Bob. Bet he bloody hates Mondays now... As for "I'd never heard of him", well that's pretty much on you. He organised Live Aid, was a knight of the British Empire, a massive campaigner and a ###### singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke009 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah, I'd never heard of him either. Bob Geldof was the main actor in Pink Floyd: The Wall http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084503/?ref_=nv_sr_1 http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1531480064/tt0084503?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_sf_10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I only had heard of her via a couple of songs. Shame she's dead, it's always sad to see people die so young. EDIT: Nevermind, I had her confused with a recording artist also known as "Peaches." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's a shame... But I sorta always knew she'd go like her mother did. I wouldn't want to say with certainty that it's drugs related but healthy 25 year olds don't usually tend to fall over dead. Having said that, look at Britney Murphy.

Through those, he's helped raise hundreds of millions of pounds for charity. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2014 I guess Bob Geldof is only really popular in the UK. I'm just interested to know what exactly she died of.. as 25 is unusually young and she apparently seemed okay last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Bodnaruk Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 For all you people who don't know who her family is : Her Dad was Bob Geldof, famous for organizing and promoting Live Aid for Africa. a dual-venue concert held on 13 July 1985. He also wrote and sang with a group of peformers including Michael Jackson, "We are the Children" with all proceeds going to Ethiopia famine. The event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine in the late 80's and Also, he played the character "Pink" in Pink Floyd's The Wall Movie, based on the hit multi-platinum selling album. Her mother, Paula Yates, a British TV personality and writer, was separated from her husband, Bob Geldof, when she was dating, living with Australian rock singer Michael Hutchence, of INXS, when he unfortunately died/killed himself in 1997. Paula Yates, as well, unfortunately killed herself from a heroin overdose in 2000. I would say the family has had some issues. The strong person being Bob Geldof.

Through those, he's helped raise hundreds of millions of pounds for charity. I understand that, but The Wall is a fairly well known movie. For those who can't connect his face with the benefit work he has done, connecting with the character we see frequently in that movie may help jog their memory. For those big events, it is more common to remember the bands than the people who moved mountains behind the scenes to make the event happen.

Boo Berry Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 He's also the main reason Pink Floyd reunited and performed in 2005 at Live 8 too. Praetor 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an unknown / undetected aneurysm, but agree that drugs could be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wrote and sang with a group of peformers including Michael Jackson, "We are the Children" with all proceeds going to Ethiopia famine. Point of correction - He wrote (with Midge Ure) and sang on 'Do they know it's Christmas' which was the song that kickstarted the whole Live Aid movement. Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson wrote 'We are the World' as the US response when they saw that these things really boosted your career...
