A notícia foi divulgada pelo vocalista dos The Charlatans, Tim Burgess, que lamentou a perda através da rede social Twitter.
"Outra perda trágica de uma bela alma", disse, lembrando em seguida que Martin entrou para a banda após a saída de Rob e tornou-se "um verdadeiro amigo".
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 pic.twitter.com/cvuEvvqYGa
