Peaches Geldof had admitted weeks before her death that rock musician and heroin addict Elliott Smith was her "kindred spirit".

According to the Daily Star, two weeks before her death, the 25-year-old model had uploaded a picture of 'Torment Saint', a book about Smith, who died in a suspected suicide in 2003, and her music playlist that featured all of Smith's songs.

The late model had said that the singer expressed his music as someone who understands depression and drug abuse and someone who lives with it every day.

The mum-of-tow had added that Smith sarcastically praised his sober and mostly happy friends in his songs for their failed mission to save him from something they could never understand.
