Chilling prediction before Hutchence’s death

“This will kill Michael,” British television presenter Paula Yates said as she left court after a bitter custody battle with the father of her children, musician Bob Geldof, which prevented he travelling to Australian to be with Hutchence. The archive footage was shown on a new documentary about Yates shown on Monday on UK broadcaster Channel 4 called Paula. Yates, herself, died in 2000, three years after Hutchence. She was an established face on British television long before she began dating Hutchence. Yates met Live Aid founder Geldof in the late 1970s. She married him a decade later and they had three children Peaches, Fifi and Pixie Geldof. In 1985, she interviewed Hutchence on her Channel 4 music program The Tube later attending numerous INXS gigs. The pair were thought al already been in the midst of an affair when in a now infamous 1994 interview on UK breakfast show The Big Breakfast where she flirted with the rock star on a large bed and wrapped her legs around him. The next year she left Geldof for Hutchence and in 1996 gave birth to their daughter Tiger Lily. Yates had hoped to take her children by Geldof to Australia. But a discovery of drugs in her London home led Geldof to head to court to get custody of his children and forced the cancellation of trip. In a previously unheard interview with the celebrity OK magazine, Yates revealed she and Hutchence were devastated.“Bob decided against letting the girls go to Australia and so we had to go back into court, and then I couldn’t get to Australia unless I left my girls behind,” she said. “Michael hated to be away from us. Found it almost unbearable. And I think it was a crushing disappointment when I rang him and told him.“And it’s funny because I left the court, and I turned to my barrister and I said, ‘This will kill Michael’”.Hutchence would die, in a Sydney hotel room, months later in November 1997. He was 37. Yates would eventually lost majority custody of her three children with Geldof and was only allowed to see them during school holidays.
