When Peaches Geldof passed away at the age of 25 last year nobody was more shocked than her father, Bob Geldof.
But due to Peaches party-loving past dad Bob, 64, claims he ‘half expected’ that the mother-of-two’s life would end in the manner that it did.
Speaking to an Irish radio station, the former Boomtown Rats frontman said: "Part of me kind of half-expected [it with] Peaches, to be honest with you – the way she was carrying on, there’s nothing you can do about it."
Despite ‘half expecting’ his daughter’s tragic death, Bob admitted that he is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that he’ll never see his beloved Peaches again.
He said: "This thing of being forever 25, in my head, that's unbearable, simply because of that cliché – you’re not supposed to see your children die.
"But she is the one who is with me every second of the day and she is the one who bangs into my consciousness at any moment, especially in any down moment... where I'm not doing something. She's very present.
"Time does not heal, it accommodates. But it is not accommodating this."
