The mother of the late rock star Michael Hutchence today reignited her feud with Bob Geldof over her granddaughter.

Pat Glassop claims Geldof hasn’t let her see 12-year-old Tiger Lily for three years and said she 'barely knows' her.

Tiger Lily is the former INXS frontman’s child with Geldof’s ex-wife Paula Yates. Hutchence died in 1997, aged 37.

He was found hanged in a hotel room in Sydney. Three years later, Yates, 41, died from an accidental overdose of heroin in London.

Geldof became Tiger Lily’s legal guardian and she lives with him and her half-sisters Fifi Trixibelle, 26, Peaches, 23, and Pixie, 18, in London.

Ms Glassop fears she may never see her again. 'I don’t know what Tiger Lily’s favourite colour is, what movies she likes or what fashion she’s into,' she said. 'I don’t know anything, yet she is my son’s daughter.'

Ms Glassop says she last saw Tiger Lily in 2006 when she was allowed to visit for five days, but on condition she brought a nanny.

Then, two years ago, she called Geldof 'Satan' after he reportedly severed all ties.

And she hit out at the former Boomtown Rat for refusing to let Tiger Lily see her grandfather Ross last month before he died

Ms Glassop, who lives on Australia’s Gold Coast, said: 'I explained that Ross was seriously ill but I never heard back.

'Now it’s too late. I don’t understand how any man could do that.

'It’s not only hurting us, it’s hurting Tiger Lily.'

Bob Geldof was not available for comment today.





Bob Geldof agreed to be our honorary patron a good few years ago. But said he would be to busy to attend any wee do’s or fete’s. I said I would not expect him to as he was such a busy man. Asking Bob Geldof to be our Honorary Patron got us attention from the media but he has never done anything else for us.

We published a book “Grandparents Speak out for Vulnerable Children” and asked Bob to write a couple of words on the intro but he did not answer.

Mrs Glassop joined our group in order to blacken. Bob but at the time the version that was feasible was Paula Yates asked him to keep the children together which he did. He has given Mrs Glassop contact but only in London as far as i know because he was afraid she would keep her in Australia if she was to go there. And that would be against Paula's wishes. Mrs Glassop has given me a hard time about this and i have received letters from all over the world on the hate campaign against him which i sent on to him.

The last communication i had from Bobs PR at Ten-alps-events was to remove her from my email list which i have done.
