Tiger Lily Hutchence has ‘no interest’ in becoming a famous singer
Why Tiger Lily has ‘no interest’ in being famous despite releasing her debut album – as a new documentary about her late parents Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates opens up old wounds
She may have been born into show business, but Tiger Lily Hutchence has no interest in the celebrity spotlight.
Tiger, the 26-year-old daughter of the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and British TV presenter Paula Yates, lives a quiet life in Perth, Western Australia, and is rarely photographed in public.
She briefly resurfaced last year to release her debut album, titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown – no doubt a reference to her life as a tabloid regular – but insiders say she won’t be touring any time soon.
“She has no interest in becoming famous like her parents were, and even though she is a singer, it’s more of a hobby for her than a career,” an insider told me. women’s Day.
“The world is full of regular reminders that she would never want a part of Michael or Paula’s world.”

In 1997, when Tiger was just 16 months old, her father Michael committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.
Her mother Paula overdosed on heroin less than three years later at her home in Notting Hill, London. She was 41.
Tiger was last seen on stage in Perth in 2020 at two different venues, singing and playing the piano with a guitarist.

“She has no interest in being famous like her parents were, and even though she’s a singer, it’s more of a hobby for her than a career,” an insider told Woman’s Day.
According to a review in The Western Australian.
Tiger moved to Fremantle to live with Nick Allbrook, the frontman of psychedelic rock band Pond and a former member of Tame Impala, after they began dating in 2017.
Her life is a paradise of surfing, meditation and yoga – a world away from the gritty celebrity scene enjoyed by her late parents.
This week, Paula Yates’ legacy was once again thrust into the spotlight in the wake of a two-part documentary airing on Britain’s Channel 4.
In 1997, when Tiger was just 16 months old, her father Michael Hutchence (pictured) committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.
The documentary is said to have opened old wounds in Tiger, who was only four and alone in the house with her mother, when she found Paula dead.
Tiger raised the alarm when a friend of Paula’s called, telling her she couldn’t “wake Mum up.”
After the death of her parents, Tiger was raised by her mother’s ex-husband, Sir Bob Geldof, along with her three older half-sisters, Fifi, Peaches and Pixie.
Sadly, Peaches died of a heroin overdose in 2014.
