Update, 12/1/15: More than a year and a half after Peaches Geldof's death, her father has spoken out about how it has affected him. Bob Geldof, frontman of The Boomtown Rats, revealed to RTE Radio, "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," he said. "This thing of [her] being forever 25, in my head, that's unbearable, simply because of that cliché, you're not supposed to see your children die." He continued: "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 when I'm not doing something. She's very present."

"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken. Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof."
