I heard a strange rumor that Bob Geldof had his ex's husband bumped off in Australia. Anybody have any information on this.

well, his ex's husband is Micheal Hutchence of INXS, what I've heard on the subject is that there was an argument between Micheal and his ex wife about custody of his kids.. I don't think he bumped him off though, he might have made him depressed enough to take his own life though

Apparently the afternoon before he died, Hutchence argued with Geldof over the phone about the kids. Story goes that Geldof wouldn't let his children to Yates travel to Australia to be with them for the INXS tour. Later that day Hutchence was found hanging from the door of his hotel room. The coroner found an official verdict of suicide caused by severe depression--but only Hutchence knows what really happened, and he's dead and didn't leave a note. There's also several theories he killed himself accidentally when experimenting with some weird form of masochistic masturbation technique, but this was ruled out by the coronial inquiry. Guess we'll just have to wait for the movie to come out. I'm sure they'll get it right (hehehehehehehe).
