Who on earth was Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof ?
Was she a great politician ? Was she a great artist or musician ? Was she perhaps, a great scientist ?
No, she was none of these things. She was a highly privileged, pampered and stupid child, born into a dysfunctional family in the torrid world of show business. She was surrounded by the most ridiculous media attention almost from birth and, in the end, it killed her. Married at 19, separated before she was 20 and divorced at 22, she married again at 23. Two children with more silly names followed. A typical 'career' in modelling and other areas of popular culture contributed nothing to society but undoubtedly earned her a substantial income.
A professed Scientologist according to a 2009 interview and possibly a follower of Judaism by 2013, her life was a mess.
The worlds of media and show business may miss her today but, sadly, her death will be of no importance to anyone but her family in no time at all. What a waste of a life.
