Music producer Dev Hynes has written a tribute to his friend, Peaches Geldof. Following her sudden death, he took to his blog to talk about the times that they spent together, and their tradition of getting together whenever Dev flew into LA. He shared, 'We met up for what would become tradition in her stint in Los Angeles & my back and forth from New York, we ate burgers. I’m serious, this was really the first thing we’d meet up and do every time, no questions asked.'
Reminiscing about the time they spent together, and the group of friends they hung out in, he conceded, ‘Nothing I could write, say, or any pictures I feel can really, truly convey the loss we are feeling right now…'
He continued, ‘This is someone who affected so many of us, my friends, in our lives. It’s a struggle to picture a moment in time without her. Just last month while playing shows in London I remember the delight of seeing her and Fifi [Brown, who DJed with Peaches under the name of Trash Pussies], together, just like old times. We quipped about it, a little older, but still babies in the grand scheme of things.
‘But really, she had grown so much, we all watched her grow, and create a beautiful family with Thomas. My heart goes out to him, and the rest of her family. This is just so unfair… it’s made me physically sick…'
He closed the message, which you can read in its entirety on his blog, with, ‘I don’t have much more to say, I’m still in shock over this. I just wanted to try and honour her in some way… We love you Peaches. Rest In Peace.’
A post-mortem of Peaches has proved inconclusive, and has prompted further toxicology tests, the results of which will be found in two to three weeks. Police have said the death is ‘non-suspicious’ and ‘sudden’, according to the BBC.
