Martin Duffy Cause of Death Tragic: Primal Scream Keyboardist Suffered From THIS Before Passing

Martin Duffy, the keyboardist of the alternative rock band Primal Scream, has died. He was 55.

Duffy's bandmate and Primal Scream's frontman Bobby Gillespie delivered the saddening news on Tuesday. In his lengthy Instagram post, he detailed the tragic event the musician faced days before his passing.

According to Gillespie, Duffy suffered a brain injury after a fall at his Brighton home. He did not disclose further details about the incident, but he expressed the bandmates' sadness over his passing as he had been with them since he was a teenager.

"Martin was the most musically talented of all of us," part of the statement read. "His style combined elements of country, blues and soul, all of which he had a God given a natural feel for. He never played the same thing twice, ever. He was all about 'the moment', better have that 'record' button on when Duffy was on fire. His timing was unique, funky and ALWAYS behind the beat."

Gillespie also discussed Duffy's love for music and how he always looked into it on a deep spiritual level. After spending almost his entire life creating music, the keyboardist reportedly saw music as everything to him.

His brother, Steve Duffy, also shared a Twitter post in which he revealed that Duffy passed away peacefully with his family by his son. He called him a "real deal" and "shining star" who was loved by everyone.

After posting the news, Primal Scream and Duffy's collaborators and fans immediately extended their message of condolences to the musician's family, friends, and loved ones.
