25-year-old Peaches died on April 7 and this week an inquest heard that a heroin overdose was ‘most likely’ the cause of her death.
Speaking to The Sun shortly after the birth of her son Astala, Peaches, also mum to 11-month-old Phaedra, said: “I have experimented with bad drugs but I have never had a good time with them.
“And in the end it was my mother that stopped me because I’d lived through the chaos. I’d seen what had happened to her and it has to be a warning for me never to get too crazy.”
During the interview, Peaches said that she believed she was in a good place and, for the first time, felt positive about the future.
She said: “I believe I’m going to get a happy ending now. I’ve never thought that before but I think everything’s going to be all right.”
Despite this, friends close to Peaches claim they saw another side to her. One friend told The Sun: “She had everything she wanted – a man who loved her and two gorgeous boys. But it was like she was drawn back like a magnet to drugs.
“Being an addict is a lifelong struggle. Her life was pretty overwhelming because she was the main breadwinner and she had two boys under two. Even though she loved it there was a part of her that couldn’t cope.
“Those habits she witnessed in her mum at a very young age were hard to break. It’s desperately sad.”
