The Great Song Of Indifference singer said that O'Connor "was full of a terrible loneliness and a terrible despair" until her final day.
"She was a very good friend of mine. We were talking right up to a couple of weeks ago," Geldof stated. "Some of her texts were laden with desperation and despair and sorrow and some were ecstatically happy. She was like that."
