BOB GELDOF - GELDOF'S 'NIGHTMARE' OVER PAULA

GELDOF'S 'NIGHTMARE' OVER PAULA

SIR BOB GELDOF has spoken of his hurt and pain following the death of his ex-wife PAULA YATES - on the anniversary of her lover MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's death. The Irish rocker paid tribute to Yates - whom he married in 1986 - and reveals his personal nightmare after realising her love for the INXS rocker. Geldof says, "You live this life for this great 20 years - she was brilliant, funny, gorgeous and I loved her very much. "And then she falls in love with someone else. Like everyone else in that situation, you find it very hard to understand and yet you have to - and then there are the nightmares and horrors that follow. "You can imagine, you lose the person you love once and then you lose them completely, utterly, totally." Geldof split with Yates in 1994 after she began her affair with Hutchence, who was found hanged in a hotel bedroom in 1997. Yates was found dead following a drugs overdose at her London home three years later.
