Tiger Lily: The Tragic Story of Michael Hutchence’s Daughter

Tiger Lily: The Story of Michael Hutchence’s Daughter

Once upon a time, Michael Hutchence and his partner Paula Yates welcomed a baby girl into the world in 1996. This little bundle of joy was given the name Tiger Lily.

For those who don’t know, Michael Hutchence was a rockstar from Australia who, along with his band INXS, sold over 60 million records worldwide. Sadly, this talented musician, songwriter, and actor was found dead in his hotel room in November 1997.

During his relationship with Paula Yates, the media couldn’t get enough of them. They were the talk of the town.

Tiger Lily was only 16 months old when her father passed away. She was raised by her mother, Paula Yates, until September 2000 when Yates died from an accidental heroin overdose in the presence of Tiger Lily. As a result, Bob Geldof stepped in and raised her as his own daughter.

Thanks to her famous parents and the tragic events that surrounded her, Tiger Lily’s fame skyrocketed even before she could walk or talk.

What do we know of  Michael Hutchence’s daughter?

The musician’s daughter is Tiger Lily. Her birth name is Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof. She is the daughter of INX frontman Michael Hutchence and Welsh journalist Paula Yates. Tiger Lily has 3 other stepsisters: Fifi, Peaches and Pixie Geldof all from Paula’s previous marriage with Bob Geldof.

Why did Michael Hutchence’s daughter garner so much attention?

Tiger Lily’s father, Michael Hutchence, was already a huge star even before she was born. INXS was famous and as the vocalist for this band, Hutchence’s name was quite well known all over the world.

Then, in the mid-1990s, Hutchence and Paula Yates started a romantic relationship. Yates was an English television presenter and she was famous in her own right. Her and Hutchence’s relationship earned so much media attention not only because they were big entertainment personalities, but mainly because Yates was still married to Bob Geldof when the affair started.

Bob Geldof is also a big name in the music industry as he was the lead singer for the band, The Boomtown Rats, and was also a Live Aid organizer. Everything practically became a scandal when the British press discovered Hutchence and Yates’ relationship.

Yates and Geldof decided to split in 1995 but this spiraled down to a high-profile and bitter custody battle over their daughters, which fueled further media scrutiny. Shortly after that, Yates and Hutchence gave birth to their daughter, Tiger Lily.

In the middle of the custody battle, Yates and her daughters (Tiger Lily and the two kids she had with Geldof) were supposed to visit Hutchence who was doing a tour in Australia. According to Yate’s official statement, she told Hutchence that she won’t be able to bring the children to meet him because of the conflicting schedules for the custody hearing.

Apparently, this frightened and upset Hutchence greatly. At this time, Hutchence was already battling depression and was heavily impacted by his inability to see his daughter.

Hutchence’s lifeless body was then discovered on the morning of November 22, 1997. According to the coroner’s reports, Hutchence’s death was a suicide and that he died under the heavy influence of alcohol and drugs.

In the media storm that followed right after, Paula Yates was often photographed with Tiger Lily in her arms and that was how she gained so much attention even while still a baby.
