Early life
Yates was born in Colwyn Bay, Wales, to English parents on April 24th. Elaine Smith, a former showgirl actor and writer of erotic books from Blackpool, who wrote the stage name Heller Toren, was her mother. Yates' biological father, who hosted the ITV religious program Stars on Sunday, was believed to be Jess Yates, until 1997. Jess Yates and Elaine Smith were married from 1958 to 1975. Jess Yates' marriage was a strange one 19 years older than his wife, and their union was tumultuous.
Yates' childhood was characterized as bleak and sad; her mother, she said, was absent for a large portion of her upbringing. Penrhos College and Ysgol Aberconwy were both attended by a village primary school, Penrhos College, and Ysgol Aberconwy. The Yates family owned the Deganwy Castle Hotel for a time before transferring to a house near Conwy. Yates lived mainly with her mother after the break-up of her parents' marriage in 1975, despite having a closer relationship with her father and attending periods in Malta and Mallorca before returning to the United Kingdom.
Personal life
In the early days of The Boomtown Rats, Yates encountered Geldof. In 1976, she went to Paris to surprise him when the band was playing there. Fifi Trixibelle, the family's first child, was born on March 31, 1983, after Geldof's aunt Fifi and Trixibelle because Yates wanted a belle in the family. Yates and Geldof married in Las Vegas on August 31, 1986, with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran Duran acting as the best man after ten years together. Peaches on March 13, 1989, and Pixie on September 17, 1990, the couple had two more children.
When interviewing Michael Hutchence for Channel 4's rock magazine show The Tube in 1985, Yates met INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence. Yates was apparently asked to leave Hutchence alone by the road boss of INXS when she stepped up to him and said, "I'm going to have the boy [Hutchence]. Yates was unmoved by the boss's order and began to appear at INXS gigs around the world for the next two years, even carrying her teenage daughter Fifi along. During the intervening nine years, Yates maintained irregular communication with Hutchence, though their affair had been ongoing for some months before their Big Breakfast interview in October 1994. Yates left Geldof in February 1995 and became pregnant with Hutchence's child later that year.
In May 1996, Geldof and Yates divorced. Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence (also known as Tiger) was born on July 22nd, 1996.
Michael Hutchence was discovered dead in a hotel room in Sydney on November 22, 1997. He committed suicide by hanging, according to the official decision into his death. Hutchence had been "frightened and couldn't bear a minute more without his baby," Yates wrote in a police statement. "I don't know how I'll live without Tiger," the guy said during their phone calls on the morning of his death. Geldof had also threatened them repeatedly with "Don't forget, I am over the rules," Yates continued. Yates became ill, refusing to accept the coroner's verdict of suicide and insisting that it was a case of auto-erotic asphyxiation. She later sought psychiatric therapy.
Jess Yates, who died in December 1997, just weeks after Hutchence's death, and though Yates was fighting for Tiger's custody, Yates suffered another blow when a DNA test result revealed that Jess Yates, not Yates' biological father, according to tabloid reports. The talent show host Hughie Green, who had died six months before Hutchence, was her biological father, according to a paternity test.
After Yates attempted suicide in June 1998, Geldof took full custody of the couple's three children. During her stay in hospital, she met Kingsley O'Keke, but the pair broke up after a six-week marriage. O'Keke's tale was later sold to a tabloid newspaper.
Career
Yates began her career as a music journalist with a column titled "Natural Blonde" in the Record Mirror, just after posing for Penthouse magazine. She first came to prominence in the 1980s as co-presenter (with Jools Holland) of Channel 4's pop music show The Tube. She appeared alongside Jennifer Saunders in 1987 for a spoof'mockumentary' on Bananarama.
In 1982, she released a version of the Nancy Sinatra hit song "These Boots Are Made for Walking." Yates wrote two books on motherhood following the birth of her children.
In addition to being the host of the cutting-edge music show The Tube, Yates continued with her rock journalism. On the show The Big Breakfast, produced by her husband, Bob Geldof, she became best known for her "on the bed" interviews.
