The final interview with the late mum-of-two Peaches Geldof was published yesterday.
The writer and TV personality spoke about how people were always telling her that she was going to die like her mum Paula Yates, who died from an accidental heroin overdose in 2000 at the age of 41.
“I’m young, but people all know the same information about me. That’s the worst thing, the preconceptions…I’m going to die like my mother, she’s going to end up like her mother.
“The worst thing is shaking someone’s hand and realising full well they have a completely preconceived notion of who you are. They know your whole life! And you know nothing about them. It’s an imbalance that’s frightening.”
The young mother opened up about her struggle with being a celebrity, saying that “because you are unreachable, people throw rocks at you, like stoning you". She also spoke about how heroine was a bleak drug, and it made her sad to see people wasting their lives on it:
"It always makes me so sad to hear about people like [Philip Seymour] Hoffman who were real masters and also family men who were just wasted by the constant, gnawing obsession with it. All heroin users seem to have the same core internal pain though."
