Paula Elizabeth Yates

Paula was born in Wales on April 24, 1960. She had a troubled childhood and a wild teenage days.

She married Sir Bob Geldof in 1986 and they had three daughters: Fifi Trixabelle (b. 1984), Peaches
Honeyblossom (b. 1990) and Pixie (b. 1994).

Paula met Michael Hutchence in 1995 and left Bob for the leader singer of INXS, the love of his
life. They had a daughter one year later, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

The legal battle over Paula and Bob´s daughters was long and horrible, involving some other people
like Michael himself. She finally lost their custody in 1997.
Soon after, on November 22, Michael killed himself in a hotel room leaving a devastated Paula and a
gorgeous 15-month-old little girl who was the only reason for Paula to smile.

After another cruel fight, this time for Tiger Lily´s custody, Paula was found dead at home by her
own daughter on September 17, 2000- aged 40. It´s still unknown if it was a suicide or an
accident.

Tiger Lily lives now with Sir Bob Geldof and her three half-sisters.


Paula, no matter what´s been said about her, was a very sweet, caring, loving person. She adored
her daughters, she was always there for her friends.
Her loss is such a tragedy.
Rest in peace, dear Paula, together with your beloved Michael.
