Bob Geldof's grief when Paula Yates left him was "worse" than when she died.
The Boomtown Rats frontman's marriage to the presenter - who he wed in 1986 after a decade together- ended in 1995 when she left him for INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and he has recalled how he "didn't want to wake up again" in the months afterwards, but ultimately kept going for their children.
