The 63-year-old Boomtown Rats frontman was left devastated in April when the 25-year-old star died from a heroin overdose and he now can't stand being in his own company because it gives him time to think about it, reported Guardian.
"It comes and goes, plane rides don't help, because you're on your own. I travel with my mate, who's my agent, and we play Scrabble, but in between choosing the words, you're left there, with it," Bob said.
"So usually I try to write or read. Anything. But even then, it will assail you. And it is an assault."
"Peaches had such an impact, you know. I didn't really understand why... I could understand with Paula, because she'd been a figure on television, and was very different from what was expected of a girl at that time. And didn't give a toss, and was very bright and beautiful," he said.
