Il y a des journées comme ça. Alors qu’il y a quelques heures nous rendions hommage à Terry Hall, voici qu’un autre départ vient assombrir ce 20 décembre 2022.
Celui de Martin Duffy, musicien qui tenait les claviers de Primal Scream et qui fut aussi celui de The Charlatans et de Felt. Duffy avait 55 ans. Sa disparition est la conséquence tragique d’une chute survenue chez lui, à Brighton.
Hard to write this. We never know how to speak around death other than polite platidudes. All I want to say is that our soul brother Martin Duffy passed away on Sunday. He suffered a brain injury due to a fall at his home in Brighton. We in Primal Scream are all so sad. pic.twitter.com/PqB2Kg2Xdq

Tim Burgess, co-fondateur des Charlatans, rappelle dans un post que le musicien était venu à la rescousse de son groupe quand celui-ci perdit subitement Rob Collins en 1996…

Knebworth was such a huge deal for us. Rob had died a couple of weeks before and we were ready to give up. Martin Duffy (Primal Scream’s keyboard player) saved us. He’d learnt all of our songs and said we had to do it. We knew we had to. The most emotional gig ever for us pic.twitter.com/wj84opmH9v
