Nineties Pop Star Finley Quaye Smashed Bus Door During Fare Row

Troubled 90’s pop star Finley Quaye has notched up yet another conviction - this time for throwing a metal road sign through a glass bus door during a fare row.

Now living in the modest Abercorn House Hostel, 28-30 Bute Gardens, Hammersmith the 46 year-old Brit Award-winner appeared today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Edinburgh-born Quaye, whose hits include ’Sunday Shining’ and ‘Even After All’ got into a row with the driver of the bus in Hammersmith and threw food all over the interior.

He pleaded guilty to causing £249.14p worth of criminal damage on June 17, last year and was bailed until March 3 for a pre-sentence report.

The court heard Quaye, who has multiple alcohol-related convictions, tried to use his card to pay the fare, but there was a disagreement.

He started shouting and swearing at the driver and after throwing around the food, exited the bus and walked around to the drivers’ side to continue the row.

Quaye picked up a metal road sign and threw it through the glass door of the bus, damaging it completely.
