I was lucky to touch his hand, front row...1988 Melbourne concert....yes, he was the rock star, handsome with a great voice.....sad life ....to soon gone. ❤
We love to demonise the women. Head injury or not, he made the choices, he was capable of making the choices. He was an adult. Michael wouldn’t have settled down with anyone who couldn’t handle him, and Paula could. Paula whether the public liked it or not had charisma too. You could argue it was multiple factors. But both were risk takers, both lived life in the fast lane, rock and roll, heroin, both were in the end, utterly flawed (as we all are). We should just accept, sometimes it just is what it is. No more.
I have to agree with you. The head injury but mostly the fast life are to blame. Now, in terms of relationships, Paula was the one that did not help at all in my opinion 🧛♀️🌹🖤
@@strangewordsmusicShe was too obsessed with him, too clingy . Their relationship was doomed from the beginning, Paula brought too much baggage into the relationship.
@@2622Valerie1 I've heard somewhere else that eventually she could not cope with Michael after the accident as he became increasingly aggressive and depressive. It must be said that the effects of the accident remained hidden for years.
I wish people would STOP blaming Paula for Michael's demise! When he had the accident Helena insisted that he should go and get the injury looked at. And from my understanding he didn't bother until it was too late like over a month went past. Paula was witty and a beautiful woman and Michael loved her very much! She was bullied by the public saying how unattractive she is etc I think she was hot as hell. It was BOB who made life difficult for these two. He's an ass! If he had left them alone both would still be with us today. Yes! They both had substance abuse issues but that's not what ultimately lead to Michael's death.
That us why you should never have affairs with married people. No good ever comes from it for anybody involved, especially the children. Michael colud have had any single woman he wanted.
I loved Michael so much. I was so angry with him when he took his life. He was so incredibly talented, charismatic, sexy, etc. I have never gotten over his passing but have at least come to terms with it. He will always be a shining light. Much love to you Michael. RIP
there were rumors Michael had several suicide attempts because of the hell Bob put them through and the fake drug bust (which NEVER even was reported to police - only the Mirror magazine as Paula and her lawyer repeatedly said). They had gag orders on them with anything to do with the house or the kids so they and the nanny couldn't even defend themselves as the press put words in their mouths. Michael had a break down after Duran's horrible hateful song released Oct 14, saying he shouldn't be in someone elses affairs. Duran would later try to say it was about drugs but tabloids from then show they were supporting Bob who wanted Michael out of the way. Paula said Bob was trying to make her broke and Bob was upset she said he was controlling and had affairs (Claire King is one of his affairs) and that he met his next gf Jeanne back in 94. The coroner found he was back in therapy on October 17th and renewed his prozac. He had burns on his fingers from passing out in a bathtub after taking too many sleeping pills (can be seen in the last rehearsal video). Some haters and the MANY paid to lie, later tried to say it was a heroin party but that's traceable back 6 months and Michael didn't have any in his system. It was the reason they speculated in VERY early articles after he died, that he had another attempt to make ti look like an accidental drowning. It failed and he hung himself in such a way that it could only be suicide as the coroner and later the famed coroner Dr. Shepperd confirmed. Less that 1/3rd of suicides have notes.
I was a big fan of his band, INXS (those saxophone beats, for God's sake!). One of my favourite bands ever. I was lucky enough to watch them live twice, when they came to my town. Though I knew about Michael's love relationships, I was mainly interested in his music, amazing talent and captivating presence on stage, only compared to Mick Jagger's. The news on November 22nd, 1997, was devastating. I couldn't believe it and prayed for his soul every night for three months. I'm glad that at least he had a genuine friend to talk to before he passed away. Rest in loving peace, Michael Hutchence. You live in our memory and affection. ✝️💜
@@strangewordsmusicHe definitely had charisma and incredible talent watch the original video for don't change you can see straight away this band is going to the top.
A toxic , self absorbed narcissist who played very heavy mind games .To Michaels peril and ultimately her own . I strongly suspect Michael was suffering from PTSD and possibly if he had been treated for this he may stil with us .
@@strangewordsmusic It was Helena that was deadly to Michael. She introduced him to his bad Habits. Paula was not to blame- they were toxic for each other. I worked with him in the 80s- he was not into anything hard then.
I get that separating sisters could be an issue but getting your daughter raised by the ex of the mother of your kid and that you have huge disputes is beyond me
Geldof did not want Hutchens child separated from the siblings so he raised her as his own,he has my utmost respect,even Hutchens parents supported his decision
Michael had that accident which not many people are mentioning. It seriously affected his moods, even INXS said he was like a totally different person. The UK press are vile rats as well, Geldof has a lot of sway with them and used them to his advantage. I do think Bob was good to take Tiger in but according to a mutual friend of him and Paula he was trying to make life very difficult for them. After Live Aid he was untouchable.
H was talking to Paula and Bob on the phone and what Paula said in her police statement (The Police Statement of Paula Yates found online) Paula originally blamed Bob and said Bob pushed him to suicide. She only later changed her story to avoid a slander suit. Some tabloids say he hung from the doorknob but it was from the hydraulic hinge at the top of the door, so there was no way he could regain consciousness. Definitely a suicide and he was heard by the neighbors yelling "She's not your wife, stop interfering". In the Police Statement of Belinda Brewin she also talks of how Bob tormented them.
I don't get how people even defend yates. "It was the british press..." etc etc. What about the relationships with stars like helena and minogue? Why didn't the press ripped them to the bone? They didn't because it wasn't toxic, or more than a regular, normal relationship. If you try to look similar cases, D.Gahan almost ended the same way. Clinically dead due to drugs and pushed by a b*tch that just made the hole deeper to him. The difference was his will, but even more, the woman he met after. Jennifer saved him. A bit of luck? Sure... but these are two examples of how the toxicity of a relationship can save or kill you. I agree with many here who say that if michael never met paula he would still be alive. I truly belive in that. Everything that came with her was poison. Literally. Even the family project she made him dream... everything came with a toxic twist
To rant a bit more - The suicide was from the fight with Bob and his putting lies about them in the press. Bob was mad because Paula told the world he was controlling and had several affairs. Claire King - one of bob's affairs - said (can be found online) that she witnessed their open relationship.
Yeah Bob is usually portrayed as a saint but he was far from it. He was jealous of Michael's success and tormented him and Paula. Michael's family also says he was passive aggressive and wouldn't let them see Tiger.
@@cobrakaier238 Michael was forced out of England by Bob whom Paula had repeatedly said was trying to put her on the street. Upset that Paula told the world that Bob was controlling, Michael & Paula had gag orders and lawsuits, that locked up their money. Michael Never had affairs but Tina was happy to spread the press lies about another girlfriend, since she was upset with Paula and Colin not giving her more money from the estate. That said it looks like Tina was as gaslite by the press as others were that Colin was taking the money. He wasn't. Paula had millions after Michael died and enough to have a home in Hastings and a Mews home in London. In 1996 Paula got the court to force Bob to give her back 18 Redburn - the house that Paula bought when she was 21 and she had given it to Bob in exchange for a speedy divorce. Bob who also had an estate in Kent and a home in Morocco, refused to give her the support she requested. He said he'd only pay for the private school and nanny. Paula was fired from her TV show that Bob produced and from an editor job. Michael's money was tied up in lawsuit when bob found out he had purchased (which he owned outright) Smith Street house and an apartment on Cheyne for Paula's use. With the court forcing Bob to give her the Redburn house back, she & Michael renovated then put in on the market During the renovations they had break ins, one that caused a fire, and wire taps found in the house on more than one occasion. After the fake drug bust and Bob firing the nanny (there was literally no drugs, no police report - ever - and no photos. It was always as Paula and her lawyer said only in the press) Michael decided to tour with the band again. Tina's lies that he didn't want to were odd Michael said he was happiest touring and making songs with the band. As in 1993, Michael didn't want the band to do big stadium which even one hit wonders usually do. Instead he again wanted a long drawn out, very little media coverage, bus tour. Afraid of going back to England he dragged it out with a tour off Hong Kong show and an actng job. Michael and Paula could say NOTHING to the defend themselves in the press controlled by bob and Paula had a breakdown and suicide attempt in the summer of 1997. The cruel press said she did it for attention. Paula & Michael were together again and then Duran put out the horrible song "Michael you have a lot to answer for" - it was never about drugs & not a tribute song where it was written before Michael took his life. In the song - no doubt dictated by bob - they said that Michael should stop wanting to be & should not be caught up in someone else's war. Bob according to Paula wanted Michael to stop helping her. Broke, Bob could have full custody of the kids with his new girlfriend Jeanne. Paula said he actually started dating Jeanne in 1994 and years later, actress Claire King would confirm an affair with Bob as well and that he and Paula had an open marrage. The Duran song came out Oct 14 and Michael was back in therapy on Oct 17 according to the coroner's findings. Bob was successfully bullying Michael out of England. Later in Lovegrove's book, many of Paula's friends said she feared Michael was becoming suicidal. The book has several errors though with people paid to lie and say he was a druggy. His true friends noted that Michael never touched a motorcycle after 92 - and Michael said this himself. And due to mediations he had to take, never touch hard drugs again. He and Helena were known to be clean living. Paula also never did drugs with Michael, that was a lie put out by a probably controlled Belinda in the Bob produced bio of Puala. Filled with lies it paints paula as this weak woman who wouldn't leave her man without someone else telling her to. Belinda orginally spoke out about Bob in her police statement to the police. The so called docu has no mention of Paula's accusations against Bob for physical and mental abuse that she had said to the press, in her book and got her friend Gery Agar to say to the press (Geri never worked for her). Anyone who attacked Bob's character got a slander suit and lies printed about them. Geri nor the Nanny (who was on Michael and Paula's side) never called the police or reported any drugs. Everything - from Geri being a PR agent just trying to make Paula look good to the fake drug bust were press driven and Bob controlled and they were gaged to defend themselves. When Geri wanted to speak up about the fake drug bust story, she had a dead naked body (naked it a form of humiliation for a certain group of people) show up in her home. First she said she didn't know who it was but the press said it was the nanny and that she may be charge! That shut her up and she never challenged the drug bust lies again. Even "Geri's book - which she never did interviews for - was actually not her Book - read it - Its Bob's revenge book. Its his way of trying to blame Paula and Michael for things he was blamed for from infidelity, violence, yelling at the kids to press control. So in 97 Paula goes to sell 18 Redburn and - as she says in "The Statement of Paula Yates" - she finds that bob has a creditor hold on it. The statement says he said he'd let the kids do a trial time in Australia for a few weeks before xmas (it was never for during xmas) and agree to remove the creditor hold if she loaned him 35k. Despite Paula's optimism, Michael knew Bob wanted Michael out of the way to make Paula broke and then take all the kids. When Paula discovered that Bob reneged on the agreement the day after he agreed to it, saying the child therapist wouldn't allow it, she decided to take him to court on it. Michael knew it wouldn't work and he never wanted to go back to England where he was constantly attacked in the press and in songs. No other place in the world was cruel to him - just England. Everytime Paula went somewhere with Michael Bob would make up fake drug bust or say that a child was sick, to bring her home (Belinda talks of this in her police statement). They had no peace and even though Bob had a new girlfriend, he wanted Paula broke and single. Broke enough that he could take full custody of the kids for him & Jeanne. This was not just about Michael - but about Bob's upset with Paula. When Paula had a boyfriend after Michael died, the press fabricated a drug addict story about him until his broke up with Paula and sold a story about her. Bob wanted revenge as Paula was going to leave him single and without kids, he wanted her single and without kids. Michael had SEVERAL suicide attempts but wanted them to look like accidents. That's why the perky video the day before he died, the reason for the bandaged ingers and the tub full off water when he took his life. He had passed out on too many sleeping pills before and passed out buring his fingers a few days before he died. When it go to the press, the media LIED and tried to say it was from a Heroin party. Michael pathology went back 6 months and there was no heroin in him. Kym Wilson said that the coroner said if he had cocaine in him it had to be 48 hours before at least. She was defending the stories that she had a drug party with him. Of interest, she changes the name of the person she was with and no one saw her police statement. There were rumors that too was a media driven story to distance from the fact that hte last person he spoke to was Bob. The two calls to Martha, were probably people who found him calling the PR agant. Martha never called the room back but cals the manager. The band give a conflicting story that they were never told that Michael wasn't coming into to the studio and that they were waiting for him. They said when the manager called he didn't say Michael had given a note saying he wasn't coming in, but rather said he got a call to the station about Michael. Why would hte manager get a call to go to the police station if he was in the next room to Michael? Why were the band seen leaving the studio together? They were at the same hotel and probably found him. I think they went to the studio after knowing he died to distance themselve from questions. It was 100% suicide and most likey a planned "accidental" drowning didn't work. He hung from uphigh from the hydraulic hinge above the door with no way for it to release, so the coroner and later famed coroner Dr Shepher said it was 100% suicide. Even if not depressed, his method of haning and being wedged behind the door when the belt broke, meant only suicide and no one could get in or out of the room. In 98 Paula lost custody of her girls and she kept having nervous breakdowns as a results. Stories that she visited the kids and they visited her were all from lies that Bob could pay people to say. Bob was often seen in Hastings visiting Paula -without the kids. Bob wanted her to say in Hastings but after finding out Tina was writting a book with Bob's permission and filled lies, Paula had a break down and went to hospital again. She then was back in London and going to public functions, no doubt to show her girls she was in town. She died in September of that year. Michael was coronered, he could watch as he and Paula were sued in bankrupsty, harrassed to insanity and watch Bob demonize them to the children and the world and eventually take full custody or he could die and his money could then be released to protect Paula. The day of Michael's funeral Nov 27th, 18 Redburn sold. Collin Diamond said he had to find a doctor for Tiger but he was selling the house in exchange for the removal of some lawsuits. Bob did an interview from the house shortly after Michael died where he noted he didn't like the modern remodelling.
When I learned of Michael's passing, I felt like a piece of me died inside. It's hard to describe why, exactly. There was something special about Michael Hutchence; the world will never see another like him again.
Same. Ill never forget I was getting ready to drive through the Holland tunnel into Manhattan when his funeral was reported on the radio. How the demise of other frontmen of "iconic" rock bands in the 90's get more attention than MH. He was just an intense balance of elements. Most earthly & bit of fire more than other. But beautifully intense.
I don't know where you get that Michael lost the millions of fans. Michael, the band and even the US press noted repeatedly during the tour or 97, Michael's negative press was only in the U.K. Also, Michael and Paula said he press' rumors of their caotic lifestyle was media generated Paula and Michael repeatedly said the press were lying about them and Bob was behind it.
He had fertility treatment in order to have a child with Paula. Also listen to the songs on the album" Elegantly Wasted". He clearly intended to have a life with her.
The song Duran did was NOT a tribute song as it was put out on October 14th, BEFORE Michael's suicide. It was not about drugs as they'd later LIE and say, but - as they said in tabloids at the time - because they felt he shouldn't be helping Paula. Paula was telling the press that Bob was suing her and Michael constantly in an attempt to make her broke and that Bob was furious that Michael was helping out. Simon - a good friend of Bob's - was helping Bob bully Michael with a cruel and hurtful song. Right after Michael's death the press partly blamed Duran Duran who over time have flipped the narrative that it was a fan song. LeBon even lied and said he lived in the Villa with Michael for a time. LeBon was married by the time Michael owned the Villa and never lived there.
The Australia visit was never for Christmas, but as Yates says in her police statement, just for a few weeks before xmas then possibly after xmas depending on if it worked out. She wouldn't even see Michael once she arrived as he'd be on tour. But Michael never wanted to return to England and Bob was horrible to him and spoke to Michael on the phone just before Michael took his life.
Sadly it was the beginning of the end once Michael got together with Paula. Michele was his soulmate from the beginning of Michael’s humble beginnings with INXS and she was there for Michael right until the very end 💔😿❤️ RIP, Michael 💔😿❤️😻
Nooo you really don’t! You think you do but you really do not want what that comes with!!! Go for the quiet academic girl that doesn’t know how to flirt!!! You will be so much safer.
What people dont seem to grasp is we do not choose who we fall in love with weather right or wrong. In the end the children paid the price. Do not use children as weapons in adult retaliations.
Yes I agree wit u I thought she was beautiful and so unique a one off.. I met her bob and fifi in Dublin airport in the early 80s she was beautiful and so petite..God rest her and Michael.
Helena was cruel to Michael. Look up the interview with her friends from April 1999 Sydney Herald sun and in Lovegrove's book. Many of his friends said tbe relationship went on for too long and she was always bullying him and comparing him unfavorably to Bono. She would take off for weeks on end and then want him back. According to Helena herself, they never actually lived together.
HE GAVE PAULA A TERRIBLE LIFE AFTER SHE LEFT.. SHE SAID IT WAS SO BAD THE THINGS HE DID AGAINST HER ( OR BOTH OF THEM) THAT SHE TOOK AN OVERDOSE HOPING TO MAKE HIM STOP. SHE DIDNT LIE. BOBS KNOWN FOR A SEVERE PERSONALITY..HE ADMITS IT TOO. BUT HE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY HURT... BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE HIM A RIGHT TO ABUSE PAULA AND STALK HER TO RUIN HER LIFE.
@ It doesn’t give either parent the right to take the children and move to another country. I’m sure Bob was pissed, what man wouldn’t be but she created this tragedy herself.
Course she was already unhappy in her marriage. SHe told the press in 1995 that he had 6 affairs. Claire King talked of her affair with Bob in her biography. Vincent Lovegrove's book said that Michael's friends accused Helena of bullying Michael and many were surprised it lasted as long as it did. I read it in the Sunherald Australia, News Extra April 11 , 1999 article too.
Love and sex addiction usually always kills in the end just like the other addictions. Brain damage didnt help matters any. Very sad … they’ll be more help around this in the future
I think Bob Geldof was a bully and very depressing to be around. Michael was a bright light with a thoughtful, gentle soul, literally the complete opposite to Geldoph. That obviously attracted Paula Yates, but she was in no place to date Michael Hutchence! She was Married with three kids ffs!!! That’s a Mummy and Daddy have to stay home now and be good decent people situation. Whether you like it or not, that’s the reality. They would all be alive if everyone had just behaved themselves. Misbehaving is not cool. It kills you.
Just because someone is married and has kids doesn't mean its happy. Paula was in an abusive and open marriage according to her. She said bob had several affairs and Claire King talks of their open marraige she witnessed. No one believe Paula and Bob attacked her in the press when she said he was controlling and had started dating his next girlfriend Jeanne a year before the marraige broke up. Mummy and Daddy stay home and be 'good decent people" was a woman who put up with abuse and control and affairs according to antiquated Bob.
Always asking for trouble and conflict when you get involved with a married person. Just stay away or you will pay. Truly not worth it. Usually leads to a dead end. Usually this type of relationship doesn't survive. 😢😢😢😢. Leads to sadness 😢😢and disappointment. 😢😢😢😢
What about all of Bob's affairs? Paula said that Bob met his next girlfriend Jeanne marine in 94 before their divorce, she said Bob had 6 affairs to the divorce court and press. Look up what Claire King said of her affair with Bob, she said they had an open marraige. Also, Paula tried to leave Bob repeatedly she said and told her friend Jo Fairley on Christmas day of 1993 that she wanted away from Bob's controlling behaviour. No one believed poor Paula.
Geldof was right to fight for his kids. She was found dead, with her baby, surrounded by needles and drugs. Bob did what most women do without scrutiny or condemnation. She was married with kids…..it was never going to be easy.
@@strangewordsmusicI've read somewhere that Paula Yates wanted TL grow up in England, not Australia. Also, she knew Bob fairly well because he had looked after her many times while Paula was depressed.
@@ladylynnmaree That's not true. There are magazine cover's with Kell and Tiger lily after Michael and Paula died. Kell was allowed to see Tiger and he was allowed to do photo shoots and stories with her.
Did Bono narrate this??? Michael you are so Missed! Thank you for what you gave US!! May you be at Peace from all the Demons that plagued you on Earth....
Why is it that Paula gets all the blame? He was a grown arsed Man who made His own choices. Labelling her toxic? What about Him? He was a drug user and paid the price. Zero sympathy for Him. He should have thought of His Daughter before a seedy lifestyle.
bob had denied him seeing tiger lily over a christmas period, bob is one of the wide eyes shut stars, paula was devastated, and turned to drugs, and her poor daughter went the same way.
It was nothing to do with Christmas. Look up "The Police Statement of Paula Yates and Belinda Brewin" . It was for a trial period before xmas and Bob was constantly interupting them everytime they went to travel. Paula said repeatedly that Bob wanted her broke and to take the kdis - and he did. She never saw her older girls after he took them in 98. Also- she and Michael were not druggies. the drug bust as Paula and her lawyer said repeatedly was never a call to the police. It was in the press only. There was literally no drugs, no police and no photos. The nanny was fired and Geri was under a slandersuit for speaking on Paula's behalf, saying Bob was abusive to her. They're gag ordered to the point you'll not know the truth unless you dig.
I remember when INXS were everywhere. Fantastic, talented man. Very sad what happened. 😞 I have to credit Bob Geldof for raising his daughter Tiger Lilly. Amazing big hearted ❤️ incredible man. Michael's music all these years later never gets old.
Bob geldof is a virtue signaling prick. Always was! Almost nobody liked him back in the day, those on that hideous song, feed the world…. All commented on his arrogance and how stuck up he was. Looking down on the less well known, or less educated than he believes himself to be. Proved right when a couple of years ago some misguided fools bought tickets to a concert he was doing, and he was very late and some of the crowd started booing. He went on a rant about them being plebs who wear primary clothes, proper snooty remarks. God knows how he ever fronted a band, he can’t play an instrument and definitely can’t sing. Prancing around the stage like a wet fart. No wonder Paula yeates fled him, the man’s a fake imposter, posing as an activist.
Such a sad loss to Australian music and the world, he had a lot of style and edge,the music landscape became more boring without him. His music was synonymous with the Australian youth who grew up with inxs and still is so loved today.
Michael was definitely one of kind !! Michael’s accident hitting his head definitely would’ve been part of his death !! There’s a lot of inxs songs about his relationship with Paula Yates and family!!! Loosing taste and smell would be the most unusual part of life and dealing with it!!! I so wish that we could go back in time and prevent his death and so many others who suddenly passed away !! R.I.P And I hope that the hutchence family has contact with tiger Lilly if they haven’t it just shows the true nature of Bob Geldolf a selfish wannabe rockstar who is so jealous still after so many years past !!
Met her didn’t like her. She is narcissistic. Met him he was lovely. Both in professional situations. Partied with him. He is chill. Not excessive Liked pinball. Never met bob and intend to keep it that way. He is a bitter root.
Good to grow up with her sisters in a stable loving environment, but I agree her relationship with her Australian family should have been encouraged an faccilitated.
Imagine eatting pizza u cant smell it or taste it. Why eat if u cant taste it?. I wish he would of got some help for his depression?. Back than u didnt talk about it as much. He had carisma thats for sure. Than every interview i see him in or hear people talking about him its always kind. Thats it he was to good for this world. It wasnt about money with him. It was happyness a simple life. Thats what he desired. They say he had over 30 million when he died. He said he didnt spend much money. Good man, sexy, and talented. I wonder if when he hit his head on top of losing smell and taste if it gave him brain damage?. Meaning made him depressed more?. Rest in peace ur missed greatly......
If you sustain a head injury. Get help immediately. His traumatic brain injury leading to his depression, and anxiety was the major cause of his self harm.
My husband knew Yates a bit because his time in the British media/music biz, and he said everybody thought of her as a nightmare. All knew to stay well clear of Geldof & Yates
Michelle Bennet went to the Ritz Hotel. She knocked on the door and no answer, she assumed and hoped he has nodded off to sleep. Nope, he was already dead . I’ve always thought of him being the sexiest man ever .
@ You know the part where he was a real beetch when it came to the divorce and custody of the children. You know the part where instead of being an adult he instead was a vindictive little man who put his pathetic feelings ahead of his kids’ and dragged everyone through the tabloids dirty laundry and all. You think because he organised a song for charity that he was also a good parent? Read up on him. He has very few friends. Nobody likes the guy.
30+ years later and doctors are still pretty dismissive of traumatic brain injuries and tend to not give them the attention required to help the patient recover.
Hate when women get beamed for everything. Michael left many women before Paula. And women don't always leave so called gpod husbands, you don't know what the husbands are like behind closed doors. Sometimes people who seem too good to be true are. Her husband probably had an ego knock from his wife leaving him. Maybe he wasn't there for her. Maybe him taking their child wasn't because he wanted her with her half sisters, maybe it was a gotcha. Why did he stop her dad's parents seeing his wife's daughter? What right did he have? It makes him look like a bully. It made him look like a thief. It wasn't his daughter, biological or adoptive
He was still with Helena when Paula had tipped off the press, re@ the pic shown of him angry and her in black sunglasses . He didn’t want Helena to find out on the front page of news paper . I think Bob did a great job with bringing up Tiger . Bob wasn’t putting any more pressure than any other father wanting to see his children at Xmas .
The visit to Australia was never for Christmas, it was always for few weeks before christmas because Paula wanted to pursue a job offer. LOOK at "The police statement of Paula Yates". He agreed to let them go then changed his mind. They were always going to return to Englnd for Christmas.
@ My husband was killed on his birthday 6 half years ago. You are in shock, you can’t answer police you just want them to fuck of and your world go back to how it was , unfortunately for myself , Daniels truck accident was an investigation then trial for Wrongful death . FYI, I never touched drugs or alcohol, I’m a Control freak. Would it make it easier to cope with, dunno. But then there’s the problem of being on substance
He made the mistake of getting into a fight with a taxi driver, who punched him and he fell and hit his head on the ground. At the time, discussing the consequences of the accident, he said it left him unable to smell his girlfriend, the Danish model, Helena Christiansen. The sense of smell is a crucial part of human attraction. Anyway, the upshot is that they eventually broke up and later he met Paula Yates. The rest is almost a Greek tragedy. But they did have a beautiful baby girl and she’s grown to be a lovely woman.
There was no fight. Look what Helena said. He was standing straddling his bike with a hand on the bicylce handle and a hand holding Pizza. The cab came in the narrow street, he tried to manuver to the side with the bike under him and the guy got out and punched him knocking him down.
He got in a road rage type argument with a taxi driver. Michael & Helena were crossing a street and Michael thought the cabbie got a little too close and almost hit them. Both men started arguing and the Cabbie pushed Michael, who fell backwards and hit his head on the curb. He did not seek medical treatment right away (though he should have). It changed his life.
Paula and Michael needed each other badly, and were disrupted by an acrimonious divorce- an eternal tragedy of love disrupted, instead of rising he fell.
Tiger Lily was his daughter with Paula. The other half sisters were from Paula and Geldof relationship which they were having huge fights over custody. Michael was caught in the middle of it. Just hours before Michael passed away he even called Geldof 🖤🧛♀️🌹
I was lucky to touch his hand, front row...1988 Melbourne concert....yes, he was the rock star, handsome with a great voice.....sad life ....to soon gone. ❤
You were so lucky. He was a beautiful soul 🌹🧛♀️🖤
We love to demonise the women. Head injury or not, he made the choices, he was capable of making the choices. He was an adult. Michael wouldn’t have settled down with anyone who couldn’t handle him, and Paula could. Paula whether the public liked it or not had charisma too.
You could argue it was multiple factors. But both were risk takers, both lived life in the fast lane, rock and roll, heroin, both were in the end, utterly flawed (as we all are).
We should just accept, sometimes it just is what it is. No more.
I have to agree with you. The head injury but mostly the fast life are to blame. Now, in terms of relationships, Paula was the one that did not help at all in my opinion 🧛♀️🌹🖤
so poetic and so true❤ty
@@strangewordsmusicShe was too obsessed with him, too clingy .
Their relationship was doomed from the beginning, Paula brought too much baggage into the relationship.
@@strangewordsmusic I think they were both the worst choice for each other. She did not help his situation, but he did not help hers either.
Michael always looked at his best & happiest with the beautiful Helena Christiansen, i never understood why he left her. Each to his own, i suppose.
They were a stunning couple and she really loved him 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Maybe she left him?
@@2622Valerie1 I've heard somewhere else that eventually she could not cope with Michael after the accident as he became increasingly aggressive and depressive. It must be said that the effects of the accident remained hidden for years.
@ that is also what i have heard..
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I wish people would STOP blaming Paula for Michael's demise! When he had the accident Helena insisted that he should go and get the injury looked at. And from my understanding he didn't bother until it was too late like over a month went past. Paula was witty and a beautiful woman and Michael loved her very much! She was bullied by the public saying how unattractive she is etc I think she was hot as hell. It was BOB who made life difficult for these two. He's an ass! If he had left them alone both would still be with us today. Yes! They both had substance abuse issues but that's not what ultimately lead to Michael's death.
He should have got help 🌹🧛♀️🖤
I totally agree.
That us why you should never have affairs with married people. No good ever comes from it for anybody involved, especially the children. Michael colud have had any single woman he wanted.
Totally agree 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Not me, in amillion.years. He smelled bad.
Mayb he was rotten on the inside!!
Actually God says not to engage in that kind of activity, to God it is adultery when one or both are married to others.
🙏😇😁❤️🔥
@@campervannie5948You were close enough to him to smell him?
I loved Michael so much. I was so angry with him when he took his life. He was so incredibly talented, charismatic, sexy, etc. I have never gotten over his passing but have at least come to terms with it. He will always be a shining light. Much love to you Michael. RIP
there were rumors Michael had several suicide attempts because of the hell Bob put them through and the fake drug bust (which NEVER even was reported to police - only the Mirror magazine as Paula and her lawyer repeatedly said). They had gag orders on them with anything to do with the house or the kids so they and the nanny couldn't even defend themselves as the press put words in their mouths.
Michael had a break down after Duran's horrible hateful song released Oct 14, saying he shouldn't be in someone elses affairs. Duran would later try to say it was about drugs but tabloids from then show they were supporting Bob who wanted Michael out of the way. Paula said Bob was trying to make her broke and Bob was upset she said he was controlling and had affairs (Claire King is one of his affairs) and that he met his next gf Jeanne back in 94. The coroner found he was back in therapy on October 17th and renewed his prozac.
He had burns on his fingers from passing out in a bathtub after taking too many sleeping pills (can be seen in the last rehearsal video). Some haters and the MANY paid to lie, later tried to say it was a heroin party but that's traceable back 6 months and Michael didn't have any in his system. It was the reason they speculated in VERY early articles after he died, that he had another attempt to make ti look like an accidental drowning.
It failed and he hung himself in such a way that it could only be suicide as the coroner and later the famed coroner Dr. Shepperd confirmed. Less that 1/3rd of suicides have notes.
So true 🌹🧛♀️🖤
I do not think he took his own life.
@@loveinthemidst5841I agree. He was taken out
He didn't take his life, FFS.
I was a big fan of his band, INXS (those saxophone beats, for God's sake!). One of my favourite bands ever. I was lucky enough to watch them live twice, when they came to my town. Though I knew about Michael's love relationships, I was mainly interested in his music, amazing talent and captivating presence on stage, only compared to Mick Jagger's. The news on November 22nd, 1997, was devastating. I couldn't believe it and prayed for his soul every night for three months. I'm glad that at least he had a genuine friend to talk to before he passed away. Rest in loving peace, Michael Hutchence. You live in our memory and affection. ✝️💜
So true. He was a precious human being 🖤🧛♀️🌹
@@strangewordsmusicHe definitely had charisma and incredible talent watch the original video for don't change you can see straight away this band is going to the top.
OMG why do I read these negative comments….they are dead……& geldof did an amazing job raising their child her sisters …..
This is a topic with a lot of different point of view. Tragic story from the beginning to the end 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Paula was toxic for Michael 💔
I have to agree on that 🖤🌹🧛♀️
A toxic , self absorbed narcissist who played very heavy mind games .To Michaels peril and ultimately her own .
I strongly suspect Michael was suffering from PTSD and possibly if he had been treated for this he may stil with us .
@@strangewordsmusic It was Helena that was deadly to Michael. She introduced him to his bad Habits. Paula was not to blame- they were toxic for each other. I worked with him in the 80s- he was not into anything hard then.
Michael was toxic for Paula. She was a mother, with all that responsibility, and he was a useless addict.
Bob Geldof was the toxic person.
His life got so tragic. And his daughter being raised by geldof kills me. Miss him so much. Loved the video
Thank you 🌹🧛♀️🖤
I get that separating sisters could be an issue but getting your daughter raised by the ex of the mother of your kid and that you have huge disputes is beyond me
He did an amazing job raising her with her sisters …..& both her parents were dead …..so they wouldn’t know…..
@@JuliaCarr_instabut they were both dead?? What do you think should have happened then?
Geldof did not want Hutchens child separated from the siblings so he raised her as his own,he has my utmost respect,even Hutchens parents supported his decision
That sounds horrible. Losing your sense of smell and taste. Poor guy. I loved him growing up in the 80’s. Rip Michael 🙏🕊️
I agree. Loved the man also 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Michael had that accident which not many people are mentioning. It seriously affected his moods, even INXS said he was like a totally different person. The UK press are vile rats as well, Geldof has a lot of sway with them and used them to his advantage. I do think Bob was good to take Tiger in but according to a mutual friend of him and Paula he was trying to make life very difficult for them. After Live Aid he was untouchable.
I couldn't agree more 🧛♀️🌹🖤
H was talking to Paula and Bob on the phone and what Paula said in her police statement (The Police Statement of Paula Yates found online)
Paula originally blamed Bob and said Bob pushed him to suicide. She only later changed her story to avoid a slander suit.
Some tabloids say he hung from the doorknob but it was from the hydraulic hinge at the top of the door, so there was no way he could regain consciousness. Definitely a suicide and he was heard by the neighbors yelling "She's not your wife, stop interfering". In the Police Statement of Belinda Brewin she also talks of how Bob tormented them.
I don't get how people even defend yates. "It was the british press..." etc etc. What about the relationships with stars like helena and minogue? Why didn't the press ripped them to the bone? They didn't because it wasn't toxic, or more than a regular, normal relationship.
If you try to look similar cases, D.Gahan almost ended the same way. Clinically dead due to drugs and pushed by a b*tch that just made the hole deeper to him. The difference was his will, but even more, the woman he met after. Jennifer saved him. A bit of luck? Sure... but these are two examples of how the toxicity of a relationship can save or kill you.
I agree with many here who say that if michael never met paula he would still be alive. I truly belive in that. Everything that came with her was poison. Literally. Even the family project she made him dream... everything came with a toxic twist
True. Dave's wife Jennifer saved him. He still thanks her entering his life to this day. He had the help that michael did not 🧛♀️🌹🖤
I believe Michael would still alive if it wasn't for that pitiful Paula Yates.
An excellent video. Well presented.
Thank you so much 🌹🧛♀️🖤
That Yates gives me chills. Amazing doc
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Compared to the others she is a complete downgrade
To rant a bit more - The suicide was from the fight with Bob and his putting lies about them in the press. Bob was mad because Paula told the world he was controlling and had several affairs. Claire King - one of bob's affairs - said (can be found online) that she witnessed their open relationship.
Yeah Bob is usually portrayed as a saint but he was far from it. He was jealous of Michael's success and tormented him and Paula. Michael's family also says he was passive aggressive and wouldn't let them see Tiger.
There was no suicide.
@@cobrakaier238 Michael was forced out of England by Bob whom Paula had repeatedly said was trying to put her on the street. Upset that Paula told the world that Bob was controlling, Michael & Paula had gag orders and lawsuits, that locked up their money. Michael Never had affairs but Tina was happy to spread the press lies about another girlfriend, since she was upset with Paula and Colin not giving her more money from the estate. That said it looks like Tina was as gaslite by the press as others were that Colin was taking the money. He wasn't. Paula had millions after Michael died and enough to have a home in Hastings and a Mews home in London.
In 1996 Paula got the court to force Bob to give her back 18 Redburn - the house that Paula bought when she was 21 and she had given it to Bob in exchange for a speedy divorce. Bob who also had an estate in Kent and a home in Morocco, refused to give her the support she requested. He said he'd only pay for the private school and nanny. Paula was fired from her TV show that Bob produced and from an editor job. Michael's money was tied up in lawsuit when bob found out he had purchased (which he owned outright) Smith Street house and an apartment on Cheyne for Paula's use.
With the court forcing Bob to give her the Redburn house back, she & Michael renovated then put in on the market During the renovations they had break ins, one that caused a fire, and wire taps found in the house on more than one occasion.
After the fake drug bust and Bob firing the nanny (there was literally no drugs, no police report - ever - and no photos. It was always as Paula and her lawyer said only in the press) Michael decided to tour with the band again. Tina's lies that he didn't want to were odd Michael said he was happiest touring and making songs with the band. As in 1993, Michael didn't want the band to do big stadium which even one hit wonders usually do. Instead he again wanted a long drawn out, very little media coverage, bus tour. Afraid of going back to England he dragged it out with a tour off Hong Kong show and an actng job.
Michael and Paula could say NOTHING to the defend themselves in the press controlled by bob and Paula had a breakdown and suicide attempt in the summer of 1997. The cruel press said she did it for attention.
Paula & Michael were together again and then Duran put out the horrible song "Michael you have a lot to answer for" - it was never about drugs & not a tribute song where it was written before Michael took his life. In the song - no doubt dictated by bob - they said that Michael should stop wanting to be & should not be caught up in someone else's war. Bob according to Paula wanted Michael to stop helping her. Broke, Bob could have full custody of the kids with his new girlfriend Jeanne. Paula said he actually started dating Jeanne in 1994 and years later, actress Claire King would confirm an affair with Bob as well and that he and Paula had an open marrage.
The Duran song came out Oct 14 and Michael was back in therapy on Oct 17 according to the coroner's findings.
Bob was successfully bullying Michael out of England. Later in Lovegrove's book, many of Paula's friends said she feared Michael was becoming suicidal. The book has several errors though with people paid to lie and say he was a druggy. His true friends noted that Michael never touched a motorcycle after 92 - and Michael said this himself. And due to mediations he had to take, never touch hard drugs again. He and Helena were known to be clean living. Paula also never did drugs with Michael, that was a lie put out by a probably controlled Belinda in the Bob produced bio of Puala. Filled with lies it paints paula as this weak woman who wouldn't leave her man without someone else telling her to. Belinda orginally spoke out about Bob in her police statement to the police. The so called docu has no mention of Paula's accusations against Bob for physical and mental abuse that she had said to the press, in her book and got her friend Gery Agar to say to the press (Geri never worked for her). Anyone who attacked Bob's character got a slander suit and lies printed about them. Geri nor the Nanny (who was on Michael and Paula's side) never called the police or reported any drugs. Everything - from Geri being a PR agent just trying to make Paula look good to the fake drug bust were press driven and Bob controlled and they were gaged to defend themselves. When Geri wanted to speak up about the fake drug bust story, she had a dead naked body (naked it a form of humiliation for a certain group of people) show up in her home. First she said she didn't know who it was but the press said it was the nanny and that she may be charge! That shut her up and she never challenged the drug bust lies again. Even "Geri's book - which she never did interviews for - was actually not her Book - read it - Its Bob's revenge book. Its his way of trying to blame Paula and Michael for things he was blamed for from infidelity, violence, yelling at the kids to press control.
So in 97 Paula goes to sell 18 Redburn and - as she says in "The Statement of Paula Yates" - she finds that bob has a creditor hold on it. The statement says he said he'd let the kids do a trial time in Australia for a few weeks before xmas (it was never for during xmas) and agree to remove the creditor hold if she loaned him 35k.
Despite Paula's optimism, Michael knew Bob wanted Michael out of the way to make Paula broke and then take all the kids. When Paula discovered that Bob reneged on the agreement the day after he agreed to it, saying the child therapist wouldn't allow it, she decided to take him to court on it. Michael knew it wouldn't work and he never wanted to go back to England where he was constantly attacked in the press and in songs. No other place in the world was cruel to him - just England.
Everytime Paula went somewhere with Michael Bob would make up fake drug bust or say that a child was sick, to bring her home (Belinda talks of this in her police statement). They had no peace and even though Bob had a new girlfriend, he wanted Paula broke and single. Broke enough that he could take full custody of the kids for him & Jeanne.
This was not just about Michael - but about Bob's upset with Paula. When Paula had a boyfriend after Michael died, the press fabricated a drug addict story about him until his broke up with Paula and sold a story about her.
Bob wanted revenge as Paula was going to leave him single and without kids, he wanted her single and without kids.
Michael had SEVERAL suicide attempts but wanted them to look like accidents. That's why the perky video the day before he died, the reason for the bandaged ingers and the tub full off water when he took his life.
He had passed out on too many sleeping pills before and passed out buring his fingers a few days before he died. When it go to the press, the media LIED and tried to say it was from a Heroin party. Michael pathology went back 6 months and there was no heroin in him. Kym Wilson said that the coroner said if he had cocaine in him it had to be 48 hours before at least. She was defending the stories that she had a drug party with him. Of interest, she changes the name of the person she was with and no one saw her police statement. There were rumors that too was a media driven story to distance from the fact that hte last person he spoke to was Bob. The two calls to Martha, were probably people who found him calling the PR agant. Martha never called the room back but cals the manager. The band give a conflicting story that they were never told that Michael wasn't coming into to the studio and that they were waiting for him. They said when the manager called he didn't say Michael had given a note saying he wasn't coming in, but rather said he got a call to the station about Michael. Why would hte manager get a call to go to the police station if he was in the next room to Michael? Why were the band seen leaving the studio together? They were at the same hotel and probably found him. I think they went to the studio after knowing he died to distance themselve from questions.
It was 100% suicide and most likey a planned "accidental" drowning didn't work. He hung from uphigh from the hydraulic hinge above the door with no way for it to release, so the coroner and later famed coroner Dr Shepher said it was 100% suicide. Even if not depressed, his method of haning and being wedged behind the door when the belt broke, meant only suicide and no one could get in or out of the room.
In 98 Paula lost custody of her girls and she kept having nervous breakdowns as a results. Stories that she visited the kids and they visited her were all from lies that Bob could pay people to say. Bob was often seen in Hastings visiting Paula -without the kids. Bob wanted her to say in Hastings but after finding out Tina was writting a book with Bob's permission and filled lies, Paula had a break down and went to hospital again. She then was back in London and going to public functions, no doubt to show her girls she was in town. She died in September of that year.
Michael was coronered, he could watch as he and Paula were sued in bankrupsty, harrassed to insanity and watch Bob demonize them to the children and the world and eventually take full custody or he could die and his money could then be released to protect Paula.
The day of Michael's funeral Nov 27th, 18 Redburn sold. Collin Diamond said he had to find a doctor for Tiger but he was selling the house in exchange for the removal of some lawsuits. Bob did an interview from the house shortly after Michael died where he noted he didn't like the modern remodelling.
When I learned of Michael's passing, I felt like a piece of me died inside. It's hard to describe why, exactly. There was something special about Michael Hutchence; the world will never see another like him again.
So true. I felt the same 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Same. Ill never forget I was getting ready to drive through the Holland tunnel into Manhattan when his funeral was reported on the radio. How the demise of other frontmen of "iconic" rock bands in the 90's get more attention than MH. He was just an intense balance of elements. Most earthly & bit of fire more than other. But beautifully intense.
RIP Michael Hutchence. Beautiful voice and unmatched charisma, gone too soon.
So true 🖤🌹🧛♀️
There must be something special about Paula Yates that both men were so crazy about her. She is not even pretty.
No she isn't
She was wild & unpredictable...also a junkie
She was common as crap
Toyally agree 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Easy...? 🤔
I don't know where you get that Michael lost the millions of fans. Michael, the band and even the US press noted repeatedly during the tour or 97, Michael's negative press was only in the U.K.
Also, Michael and Paula said he press' rumors of their caotic lifestyle was media generated
Paula and Michael repeatedly said the press were lying about them and Bob was behind it.
We all know the uk press can be a nightmare 🌹🧛♀️🖤
He did not dream of building a family with Paula Yates. He used to complain about her to friends.
I wasn't in a good place. That's for sure 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Many have said he wanted out.
He had fertility treatment in order to have a child with Paula. Also listen to the songs on the album" Elegantly Wasted". He clearly intended to have a life with her.
The song Duran did was NOT a tribute song as it was put out on October 14th, BEFORE Michael's suicide. It was not about drugs as they'd later LIE and say, but - as they said in tabloids at the time - because they felt he shouldn't be helping Paula. Paula was telling the press that Bob was suing her and Michael constantly in an attempt to make her broke and that Bob was furious that Michael was helping out. Simon - a good friend of Bob's - was helping Bob bully Michael with a cruel and hurtful song.
Right after Michael's death the press partly blamed Duran Duran who over time have flipped the narrative that it was a fan song. LeBon even lied and said he lived in the Villa with Michael for a time. LeBon was married by the time Michael owned the Villa and never lived there.
Which song are you referring to?
I think it's the Duran Duran song "Michael you've got a lot to answer for"
@@allicka979 Yes, I found it thank you.
Amazing video. Congrats 👏👏👏
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Rest in peace Michael 🖤 INXS will always be my favourite band
He will always be in our hearts 🧛♀️🌹🖤
The Australia visit was never for Christmas, but as Yates says in her police statement, just for a few weeks before xmas then possibly after xmas depending on if it worked out. She wouldn't even see Michael once she arrived as he'd be on tour. But Michael never wanted to return to England and Bob was horrible to him and spoke to Michael on the phone just before Michael took his life.
It's obvious that bob's pressure on their relationship was a huge factor 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Thank you for every comments! ❤ Greetings from Czech republic ❤
Thank you. Děkuju 🧛♀️🌹🖤
His death was from him ending his life.
Sadly yes 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Sadly it was the beginning of the end once Michael got together with Paula.
Michele was his soulmate from the beginning of Michael’s humble beginnings with INXS and she was there for Michael right until the very end 💔😿❤️
RIP, Michael 💔😿❤️😻
You're totally right 🌹🧛♀️🖤
You are disrespectful to his daughter.
@@astridsegall How so. Couples can have a bad, even toxic relationship and still be happy it produced a wonderful child.
She was toxic as hell
All of Michael's girlfriends remained friends. Michele just happened to be in the same city as he was at that time, so he called her.
I want that kind of chemistry in my relationships ❤ sighhhh…
All of the relationships before paula were normal. They were still so fond of him. I really admire that 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Nooo you really don’t! You think you do but you really do not want what that comes with!!! Go for the quiet academic girl that doesn’t know how to flirt!!! You will be so much safer.
Bob g ended these 2 -
Many people have that opinion also 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Yes St Bob,an absolute bully who had to have his own way,no matter the cost.
Bob was extremely possessive of Paula. Michael himself said that Bob thinks he owns her.
What people dont seem to grasp is we do not choose who we fall in love with weather right or wrong. In the end the children paid the price. Do not use children as weapons in adult retaliations.
I totally agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Paula Yates was a beautiful strong lady. Why do people blame her, it takes two. I thought she was brilliant .
I respect your opinion. And true, it takes two 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Yes I agree wit u I thought she was beautiful and so unique a one off.. I met her bob and fifi in Dublin airport in the early 80s she was beautiful and so petite..God rest her and Michael.
it wasnt suicide, it was recorded as accidental death from asphyxia
I respect your opinion 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Michael and Helena ❤❤❤. Your best video yet
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Helena was cruel to Michael. Look up the interview with her friends from April 1999 Sydney Herald sun and in Lovegrove's book. Many of his friends said tbe relationship went on for too long and she was always bullying him and comparing him unfavorably to Bono. She would take off for weeks on end and then want him back. According to Helena herself, they never actually lived together.
@lilifive6719 I have read this too. Really, they were together the majority of the time after his accident.
@@lilifive6719 huh, how about that! I've read she treated Norman Reedus just like that, comparing Norman to Michael
Bob Geldolf is NOT the bad guy here. He fought to keeps his daughters as a good father would.
I respect your opinion. Him as a father may have been a good one 🖤🌹🧛♀️
@@strangewordsmusicMichael was a heroine addict! Kids should not be around
HE GAVE PAULA A TERRIBLE LIFE AFTER SHE LEFT.. SHE SAID IT WAS SO BAD THE THINGS HE DID AGAINST HER ( OR BOTH OF THEM) THAT SHE TOOK AN OVERDOSE HOPING TO MAKE HIM STOP. SHE DIDNT LIE. BOBS KNOWN FOR A SEVERE PERSONALITY..HE ADMITS IT TOO. BUT HE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY HURT... BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE HIM A RIGHT TO ABUSE PAULA AND STALK HER TO RUIN HER LIFE.
@ It doesn’t give either parent the right to take the children and move to another country. I’m sure Bob was pissed, what man wouldn’t be but she created this tragedy herself.
How many awkward stars have died by hanging in hotel rooms? Were they suicide or murder dressed as suicide?
A lot 🖤🌹🧛♀️
He was one of my heroes. You did justice to him
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
She was the beginning to his end
Totally agree
This is disrespectful to their daughter.
Course she was already unhappy in her marriage. SHe told the press in 1995 that he had 6 affairs. Claire King talked of her affair with Bob in her biography. Vincent Lovegrove's book said that Michael's friends accused Helena of bullying Michael and many were surprised it lasted as long as it did. I read it in the Sunherald Australia, News Extra April 11 , 1999 article too.
The public had the inaccurate belief that he was Saint Bob - he wanted the affairs hidden from the public.
NOT HER.
Love and sex addiction usually always kills in the end just like the other addictions. Brain damage didnt help matters any. Very sad … they’ll be more help around this in the future
So true 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Captivating story
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
I had met Michael @ the beginning of their fame, very nice guy. Michael died on my birthday 😞, I was devastated, to say the least 🥹
You were really lucky. I would have died to meet him. Miss him so much 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Gone too soon 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So true 🌹🧛♀️🖤
I think Bob Geldof was a bully and very depressing to be around. Michael was a bright light with a thoughtful, gentle soul, literally the complete opposite to Geldoph. That obviously attracted Paula Yates, but she was in no place to date Michael Hutchence! She was Married with three kids ffs!!!
That’s a Mummy and Daddy have to stay home now and be good decent people situation. Whether you like it or not, that’s the reality. They would all be alive if everyone had just behaved themselves. Misbehaving is not cool. It kills you.
I see what you mean. It's a tragic story with a tragic end 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Just because someone is married and has kids doesn't mean its happy.
Paula was in an abusive and open marriage according to her. She said bob had several affairs and Claire King talks of their open marraige she witnessed. No one believe Paula and Bob attacked her in the press when she said he was controlling and had started dating his next girlfriend Jeanne a year before the marraige broke up.
Mummy and Daddy stay home and be 'good decent people" was a woman who put up with abuse and control and affairs according to antiquated Bob.
Keep it simple…. No ready made families… 😊…. If u go that way you will never keep static away.
True 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Always asking for trouble and conflict when you get involved with a married person. Just stay away or you will pay. Truly not worth it. Usually leads to a dead end. Usually this type of relationship doesn't survive. 😢😢😢😢. Leads to sadness 😢😢and disappointment. 😢😢😢😢
True. In a relationship "two's company. Three's a crowd" 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Agree 👍. Always asking for big trouble when you get involved with a married person. Does not work. 😢😢😢😢
What about all of Bob's affairs? Paula said that Bob met his next girlfriend Jeanne marine in 94 before their divorce, she said Bob had 6 affairs to the divorce court and press. Look up what Claire King said of her affair with Bob, she said they had an open marraige.
Also, Paula tried to leave Bob repeatedly she said and told her friend Jo Fairley on Christmas day of 1993 that she wanted away from Bob's controlling behaviour. No one believed poor Paula.
Not a marriage counselor but cheating and having an open marriage usually ends up doomed. A path to destructive relationships. 😢😢😢😢
they said bob geldof used to sleep around on paula thas probably why she fell for michael
It didn't help for sure 🖤🧛♀️🌹
@strangewordsmusic yeh true 👍 2 wrongs don't make a right
Geldof was right to fight for his kids. She was found dead, with her baby, surrounded by needles and drugs. Bob did what most women do without scrutiny or condemnation. She was married with kids…..it was never going to be easy.
I understand your point but i still think that Tiger should have been raised by Michael's family in australia 🖤🌹🧛♀️
@@strangewordsmusicMichael's family tried to get visiting rights, but Geldof denied them this. Michael's dad died heartbroken.
@@strangewordsmusicI've read somewhere that Paula Yates wanted TL grow up in England, not Australia. Also, she knew Bob fairly well because he had looked after her many times while Paula was depressed.
Exactly! Geldof was the betrayed party here. He had every right to fight for his children.
@@ladylynnmaree That's not true. There are magazine cover's with Kell and Tiger lily after Michael and Paula died. Kell was allowed to see Tiger and he was allowed to do photo shoots and stories with her.
Did Bono narrate this??? Michael you are so Missed! Thank you for what you gave US!! May you be at Peace from all the Demons that plagued you on Earth....
Miss him so much 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Why is it that Paula gets all the blame? He was a grown arsed Man who made His own choices. Labelling her toxic? What about Him? He was a drug user and paid the price. Zero sympathy for Him. He should have thought of His Daughter before a seedy lifestyle.
You have a valid point. It's always his fault but i don't the relationship with paula helped a bit 🖤🧛♀️🌹
bob had denied him seeing tiger lily over a christmas period, bob is one of the wide eyes shut stars, paula was devastated, and turned to drugs, and her poor daughter went the same way.
I totally agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
It was nothing to do with Christmas. Look up "The Police Statement of Paula Yates and Belinda Brewin" . It was for a trial period before xmas and Bob was constantly interupting them everytime they went to travel. Paula said repeatedly that Bob wanted her broke and to take the kdis - and he did. She never saw her older girls after he took them in 98.
Also- she and Michael were not druggies. the drug bust as Paula and her lawyer said repeatedly was never a call to the police. It was in the press only.
There was literally no drugs, no police and no photos. The nanny was fired and Geri was under a slandersuit for speaking on Paula's behalf, saying Bob was abusive to her. They're gag ordered to the point you'll not know the truth unless you dig.
His family and some friends believe he wanted to separate from Paula.
I wouldn't blame him 🖤🧛♀️🌹
I remember when INXS were everywhere. Fantastic, talented man. Very sad what happened. 😞
I have to credit Bob Geldof for raising his daughter Tiger Lilly. Amazing big hearted ❤️ incredible man.
Michael's music all these years later never gets old.
He was an outstanding frontman and human being 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Bob geldof is a virtue signaling prick. Always was! Almost nobody liked him back in the day, those on that hideous song, feed the world…. All commented on his arrogance and how stuck up he was. Looking down on the less well known, or less educated than he believes himself to be. Proved right when a couple of years ago some misguided fools bought tickets to a concert he was doing, and he was very late and some of the crowd started booing. He went on a rant about them being plebs who wear primary clothes, proper snooty remarks. God knows how he ever fronted a band, he can’t play an instrument and definitely can’t sing. Prancing around the stage like a wet fart. No wonder Paula yeates fled him, the man’s a fake imposter, posing as an activist.
Isn't it always like this? Humans are HARDWIRED to want what they can't have. It's what drives us forward
I totally agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
I dont think it helped that they were both drug addicts. That was doomed from the start.
That never helps. But i think it got way worse on the yates phase 🖤🧛♀️🌹
He had an Aquired Brain Injury.
True 🧛♀️🌹🖤
A TBI
@cinderbearica9939 ABI
Paula and Michael had a passionate love affair! Pure tragedy in the end! ❤
I agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Such a sad loss to Australian music and the world, he had a lot of style and edge,the music landscape became more boring without him. His music was synonymous with the Australian youth who grew up with inxs and still is so loved today.
So true 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Michael was definitely one of kind !! Michael’s accident hitting his head definitely would’ve been part of his death !! There’s a lot of inxs songs about his relationship with Paula Yates and family!!!
Loosing taste and smell would be the most unusual part of life and dealing with it!!!
I so wish that we could go back in time and prevent his death and so many others who suddenly passed away !!
R.I.P
And I hope that the hutchence family has contact with tiger Lilly if they haven’t it just shows the true nature of Bob Geldolf a selfish wannabe rockstar who is so jealous still after so many years past !!
Totally agree 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Apparently she lives out in Australia to be near them. Doesn't have much to do with UK anymore?
Met her didn’t like her. She is narcissistic. Met him he was lovely. Both in professional situations. Partied with him. He is chill. Not excessive Liked pinball. Never met bob and intend to keep it that way. He is a bitter root.
That's exactly how i imagine them to be. You were so lucky on meeting michael 🖤🧛♀️🌹
must admit I can't understand why he wanted custody of another mans children.
Totally agree 🧛♀️🌹🖤
Good to grow up with her sisters in a stable loving environment, but I agree her relationship with her Australian family should have been encouraged an faccilitated.
People call it noble but I see it as vindictive. Tiger's real family isn't fond of Bob.
Imagine eatting pizza u cant smell it or taste it. Why eat if u cant taste it?. I wish he would of got some help for his depression?. Back than u didnt talk about it as much. He had carisma thats for sure. Than every interview i see him in or hear people talking about him its always kind. Thats it he was to good for this world. It wasnt about money with him. It was happyness a simple life. Thats what he desired. They say he had over 30 million when he died. He said he didnt spend much money. Good man, sexy, and talented. I wonder if when he hit his head on top of losing smell and taste if it gave him brain damage?. Meaning made him depressed more?. Rest in peace ur missed greatly......
I understand your point and agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
If you sustain a head injury. Get help immediately. His traumatic brain injury leading to his depression, and anxiety was the major cause of his self harm.
You're right 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Man was gorgeous, could have had anyone, why pick such a vile woman as Yates?
I scratch my had with that also 🧛♀️🌹🖤
I’ve met Paula, she’s not vile.
Easy for you to say, but you know nothing. (Sweetest Perfection? Huh?)
Obviously, he enjoyed her company. In an interview, he said " they had a lot of fun".
My husband knew Yates a bit because his time in the British media/music biz, and he said everybody thought of her as a nightmare. All knew to stay well clear of Geldof & Yates
That makes sense 🖤🌹🧛♀️
R i p Michael and Paula,gone too soon.❤
True 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Wish he NEVER met HER.
I agree 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Awesome doco thx 🥰
Thank you so much 🖤🌹🧛♀️
What a touching tribute to a beautiful man.
Thank you so much 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Michelle Bennet went to the Ritz Hotel. She knocked on the door and no answer, she assumed and hoped he has nodded off to sleep. Nope, he was already dead . I’ve always thought of him being the sexiest man ever .
He was gorgeous with a beautiful soul 🧛♀️🌹🖤
He was a god. I was glued to this
Thank you 🖤🧛♀️🌹
He was so sexy. I don’t say that often, but there was just something hot about him. He was such a great rock star too. I miss him. 😢
I totally agree 🖤🧛♀️🌹
His downfall was Yates she was a junkie and pushed it onto MH.
Pure toxicity 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Absolutely
He made Kyle a woman
A tart
I agree. And they were such a beautiful couple 🧛♀️🌹🖤
He reminded me of Jim Morrison Beautiful and tragic
I agree 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Whatever. One thing is for sure. Michael, Yates and Geldof can not be accused of putting their kids first.
Geldof did put his kids first.
@ Did he? Lost his wife to an overdose, lost his daughter to an overdose.
Agree 🖤🌹🧛♀️
@@effkay3691 his ex-wife and his daughter. What does this have to do with him putting his children first?
@ You know the part where he was a real beetch when it came to the divorce and custody of the children. You know the part where instead of being an adult he instead was a vindictive little man who put his pathetic feelings ahead of his kids’ and dragged everyone through the tabloids dirty laundry and all. You think because he organised a song for charity that he was also a good parent? Read up on him. He has very few friends. Nobody likes the guy.
I didn‘t know Kylie Minogue dated him. Wow❤
Yes they did. Amazing couple 🖤🧛♀️🌹
30+ years later and doctors are still pretty dismissive of traumatic brain injuries and tend to not give them the attention required to help the patient recover.
True 🖤🧛♀️🌹
That bed interview, yuck🤮He was an amazing singer, sensitive man, so handsome🕶🖤 and...I feel bisexual for some reason.
Whi
What reasons do you give to justify his bisexuality?
@ernychavaitulukina4325 I don't have to justify to you but the way he strutted, pranced, moved...very feminine to me.
@@zenawarrior7442 he had an androgynous side that really appealed to women but from my readings it doesn't appear that he was bisexual.
According to interviews given by Paula Yates after MH's death, he was very into sex and particularly unusual sexual experiences
Paula caused his death will all her baggage
She didn't help. That's for sure 🖤🌹🧛♀️
That is ridiculous.
I think Paula and Michael were taken out. Too convenient.
I respect your opinion 🌹🧛♀️🖤
RIP ANGEL 😇
Thank you very much. God bless always.
Head trauma 😱🙏🏥🌎⚡️
Thank you. He will always shine for us 🧛♀️🌹🖤
He was taken out and they staged his death to humiliate him he knew their secretes
Yes
I respect your opinion 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Whose secrets?
So Sad Big Loss 🔆🌟🌟🔆
So true 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Hate when women get beamed for everything. Michael left many women before Paula. And women don't always leave so called gpod husbands, you don't know what the husbands are like behind closed doors. Sometimes people who seem too good to be true are. Her husband probably had an ego knock from his wife leaving him. Maybe he wasn't there for her. Maybe him taking their child wasn't because he wanted her with her half sisters, maybe it was a gotcha. Why did he stop her dad's parents seeing his wife's daughter? What right did he have? It makes him look like a bully. It made him look like a thief. It wasn't his daughter, biological or adoptive
I get what you mean 🖤🧛♀️🌹
She stole him from Kyle, I think Kyle was to innocent for him
I igree , he , we have forgive him he turned her into a woman Kyle
He was still with Helena when Paula had tipped off the press, re@ the pic shown of him angry and her in black sunglasses . He didn’t want Helena to find out on the front page of news paper . I think Bob did a great job with bringing up Tiger . Bob wasn’t putting any more pressure than any other father wanting to see his children at Xmas .
I get your point. Yates loved that press chaos 🧛♀️🌹🖤
The visit to Australia was never for Christmas, it was always for few weeks before christmas because Paula wanted to pursue a job offer. LOOK at "The police statement of Paula Yates". He agreed to let them go then changed his mind. They were always going to return to Englnd for Christmas.
@ I had a ticket for the South West Sports Centre Bunbury WA
@ My husband was killed on his birthday 6 half years ago. You are in shock, you can’t answer police you just want them to fuck of and your world go back to how it was , unfortunately for myself , Daniels truck accident was an investigation then trial for Wrongful death . FYI, I never touched drugs or alcohol, I’m a Control freak. Would it make it easier to cope with, dunno. But then there’s the problem of being on substance
He was hot and talented
Yes he was 🌹🧛♀️🖤
He made the mistake of getting into a fight with a taxi driver, who punched him and he fell and hit his head on the ground. At the time, discussing the consequences of the accident, he said it left him unable to smell his girlfriend, the Danish model, Helena Christiansen. The sense of smell is a crucial part of human attraction. Anyway, the upshot is that they eventually broke up and later he met Paula Yates. The rest is almost a Greek tragedy. But they did have a beautiful baby girl and she’s grown to be a lovely woman.
**Christensen. (Apologies)
Totally agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
There was no fight. Look what Helena said. He was standing straddling his bike with a hand on the bicylce handle and a hand holding Pizza. The cab came in the narrow street, he tried to manuver to the side with the bike under him and the guy got out and punched him knocking him down.
This is the best analogy of what happened. Thankyou.
Yates was the drug here. Great work
I agree 🖤🧛♀️🌹
💜💜 $ doesn't buy happiness .
✌🏼
So true 🌹🧛♀️🖤
The episode in Copenhagen ... an accident? Or an attack?
I belive it was some kind of fight and he fell 🖤🌹🧛♀️
He got in a road rage type argument with a taxi driver. Michael & Helena were crossing a street and Michael thought the cabbie got a little too close and almost hit them.
Both men started arguing and the Cabbie pushed Michael, who fell backwards and hit his head on the curb.
He did not seek medical treatment right away (though he should have).
It changed his life.
@rapman5791
Thank you
Yates was a toad…ugh
Agree 🧛♀️🌹🖤
What a horrible thing to say!
Why would you choose someone who is already taken? An accident waiting to happen
I agree 🌹🧛♀️🖤
😂😂😂 Michael DUMPED Kylie! He cheated on her. Where you even alive 😂
I respect your opinion 🖤🧛♀️🌹
Paula and Michael needed each other badly, and were disrupted by an acrimonious divorce- an eternal tragedy of love disrupted, instead of rising he fell.
Nothing of this helped 🖤🌹🧛♀️
Check out the song " She is rising" on the album " Elegantly wasted.
custudy battles ??? they were not his kids /???/
Tiger Lily was his daughter with Paula. The other half sisters were from Paula and Geldof relationship which they were having huge fights over custody. Michael was caught in the middle of it. Just hours before Michael passed away he even called Geldof 🖤🧛♀️🌹
She caused it
I respect your opinion 🖤🧛♀️🌹
They throughout the worst in each other, and the kids got caught up in it.
True. The kids are always who suffer more 🌹🧛♀️🖤
Murdered
I respect your opinion 🌹🧛♀️🖤
