Geldof restricting access to child, claims Hutchence mother

Bob Geldof has come under renewed attack from the mother of the late rock star Michael Hutchence concerning access to her granddaughter.

Patricia Glassop reportedly claimed the charity campaigner and former Boomtown Rat blocked her from seeing Tiger Lily, who is the child of late Australian former INXS singer Hutchence and Geldof’s late ex-wife Paula Yates.

Mrs Glassop, who lives on Australia’s Gold Coast, said she “barely knows” the 12-year-old girl and spoke of her distress that Tiger Lily was not able to see Mrs Glassop’s husband Ross last month before he died.
