Bob Geldof finds playing live "cathartic" after Peaches death

Sir Bob Geldof has described his return to the stage as "cathartic" following the death of his daughter Peaches Geldof.

The singer explained that a recent show with the Boomtown Rats at Volksfest in Plymouth would help him "sleep well" after recent events.

He revealed that performing had helped him "purge" the "things going on in [his] head".

"It's that thing people say - some other part of you comes out," Bob said. "And I guess that's right. In that regard, it's very cathartic.

"There's a lot of things going on in my head at the moment and you can just purge them and the crowd allow you to do that. I'll sleep well tonight which is the first time in weeks I've slept well."

Peaches Geldof died aged 25 on April 7, with heroin said to have "likely" played a part in her death.
