Headline: Bob Geldof received texts 'laden with desperation and despair' from Sinéad O'Connor before death

Caption: The Boomtown Rats frontman paid tribute to the Nothing Compares 2 U singer onstage during the band's performance at the Cavan Calling festival in Ireland on Saturday. In a speech, Geldof told the audience about the importance of keeping going in the wake of tragedies before giving an insight into O'Connor's messages before she died last week. "There's no other option, as all of you know, than to just keep on. Many, many times Sinead was full of a terrible loneliness and a terrible despair.”
