Inside Tigerlily's secret world

Woman’s Day reports on the truth about the daughter of Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence.

Fascination with Michael Hutchence’s amazing life – and tragic 1997 death – has once again gripped Australia. But INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, the telemovie that has us glued to our screens, couldn’t tell the most captivating chapter of all: whatever happened to the late rock star’s beautiful daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily.

Now 17, Tiger’s life has so far remained shrouded in mystery, with her stand-in father Bob Geldof fiercely protecting her from the spotlight during her young, impressionable years.

But as she grows into a beautiful, clever young woman, Woman’s Day has been given unprecedented insight into Tiger’s secret life – a life that Michael is shaping from beyond the grave.

After speaking at length with multiple sources – some of whom speak daily to “Ti” as she’s known – we can reveal that while she’s every bit as enigmatic as her name suggests, she considers finding happiness the best way to honour her troubled late father.
