Primal Scream musician Martin Duffy died after becoming “distraught and upset” when he was suspended from the Scottish rock band band, his son has claimed.

Duffy, who played keyboard for the band for more than 30 years, died in December aged 55. His former bandmate, frontman Bobby Gillespie, announced his death on social media, writing: “Hard to write this. We never know how to speak around death other than polite platitudes. All I want to say is that our soul brother Martin Duffy [has] passed away. He suffered a brain injury due to a fall at his home in Brighton. We in Primal Scream are all so sad.”
