“Peaches has died. We are beyond pain,” her father, the famed anti-poverty activist and Boomtown Rats frontman, said in a statement.
“She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us…. Writing ‘was’ destroys me afresh.”

Police in Kent reported being called to an address near Wrotham on Monday afternoon. A 25-year-old woman at the scene was later pronounced dead by an ambulance team.

She is survived by her father, who is also behind the Live Aid famine relief concerts in the mid-1980s, three sisters, her musician-husband Thomas Cohen and two infant sons.
