Bob Geldof has given an emotional interview about the death of his daughter Peaches to Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show.
The singer, businessman and philanthropist says he has been overwhelmed by the support of people since the death of Peaches from a drugs overdose at the age of 25 in April 2014.
He explained how playing live with the Boomtown Rats has kept him sane, but that time can not erase the pain he feels as a result of the loss of his first child.
“I got so many beautiful letters and cards, mass cards and things like that,” he recalled. “I read them all and I replied to as many as I could actually reply to.”
“It doesn’t put anything in perspective,” he continued. “But it’s like I’ve said about other situations – I’ve been on here and I’ve talked about it – stuff happens. Everybody here, everybody watching – they know stuff happens. What do you do? You get on with it. The getting on with it gets harder, but you get on with it.”
