THE son of 90s Scots pop star Finley Quaye took his own life after his music career stalled, an inquest was told.

Caleb Quaye, 27, was working as a roadie for bands and had moved in with his mum, Mercedes Gutierrez.

At an inquest in Brighton into Caleb's death on July 7 - a week after his final gig at a club - Mercedes told how she found him dead.

Coroner Joanne Andrews heard that Caleb was a musician but had been struggling due to lack of musical success and the break-up of a relationship.

Mercedes said his band had not gone as far as he had wanted.

She added he was drinking more than usual and self-harming.

Mercedes said: "He had self-harmed before and cigarette burns on his face were selfinflicted.

"He never mentioned suicide but said he was going to a dark place.

"He would set up stages for other musicians to earn money.
