Martin Duffy: Primal Scream and Felt keyboardist dies aged 55 | Primal Scream
Martin Duffy, who played keyboards for Primal Scream and Felt, has died aged 55, his former Charlatans bandmate Tim Burgess has confirmed.
Duffy was born in Birmingham on 18 May 1967 and grew up in Rednal.
He joined the indie band Felt in 1985 after frontman Lawrence put up a notice in the Birmingham branch of Virgin records advertising for a guitarist that read: “Do You Want To Be A Rock ‘N’ Roll Star?” and a man recommended Duffy.
Duffy played on Primal Scream’s first two albums, 1987’s Sonic Flower Groove and 1989’s self-titled before joining the band full-time at the end of that year.
Duffy would also play with the Charlatans following the death of founding member Rob Collins and contribute to their 1997 album Tellin’ Stories.
Burgess paid tribute to Duffy on Twitter: “Another tragic loss of a beautiful soul. Martin Duffy stepped in to save The Charlatans when we lost Rob – he played with us at Knebworth and was a true friend. He toured with me in my solo band too – he was a pleasure to spend time with. Safe travels Duffy.”
