Primal Scream musician’s son says band’s ‘tough love’ isolated father before death

Keyboard player Martin Duffy was ‘not able to cope’ after being excluded from tour and rights deal, inquest told

The teenage son of Martin Duffy, the late keyboard player with Primal Scream, has accused other members of the band of leaving his father out in the cold financially and professionally, and of contributing to his isolation before his early death last December.

Duffy, who played on a string of hits in the 1990s, including Movin’ on Up and Loaded, joined the band as a full-time member in 1989, after a period playing with Felt. He contributed to every album, including the award-winning Screamadelica.
