Now living in the modest Abercorn House Hostel, Bute Gardens, Hammersmith the 47 year-old Brit Award-winner appeared 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.
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.
He was sentenced to a twelve-month Community Order, which includes a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement of up to twenty days.
Quaye was also ordered to pay £249.14 and £50 in compensation, plus a £95 victim surcharge and £85 costs.
