[Music] Keith Flint of The Prodigy - RIP

[Hungry Joe]

Shit, awful news, RIP Keith.

Only 49. Christ.

This.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So sad to learn he took his own life. How very tragic.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Saw them at Knebworth on the Saturday and they knocked spots off Oasis, who were like a load of grandads by comparison.

I was there for that too, and you are spot on.

 

[BlockDpete]

Heard this on 6music just before midday. Utterly shocking news.

Saw The Prodigy a couple of times a V Festival, and they blew my mind away.

 

[Deleted member 22389]

Still shocked by this news. I saw The Prodigy in 1991 Hastings Pier.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Sad news. An iconic band, a truly original frontman. RIP Keith.

 

[madinthehead]

So sad, jilted generation was one of the first "dance" albums I bought and was influential in getting me into the whole scene

Very sad, One of my favourite bands, saw them live many time over the years, last time was last November at the Brighton Centre and even after all these years they were still phenomenal live.

So glad I got to see them one last time on that last tour.

RIP the twisted firestarter.

 

[Mr Banana]

Last time I spoke to him he was quite pissed off about the hunting thing. It's a weird, rubbish day.

 

[Paskman]

I was there for that too, and you are spot on.

Glad I went on the Saturday - was the only time I saw them live - RIP

Took one of my most played reggae songs and made another brilliant song out of it. What a loss to music and creativity.

What shocking news. Another man lost to suicide. The Prodigy where a band I grew up with and will always hold dear. Seeing them in the very early 90s at Sterns will always remain a highlight.

never knew that they played Sterns

 

[The Orange Seagull]

Terrible news RIP Keith Flint.

 

[lost in london]

I think my insides are still rumbling from being shaken apart at the Brighton Centre in 1997

 

[upthealbion1970]

Such a sad loss

Like others the Prodigy such a big part of my past and Keith is just a year older than me.

RIP

 

[The Clamp]

Saw them a few time’s , memorably at Reading with the Beastie Boys. Well, that’s shocking news. Suicide too. Very, very sad.

 

[Seasider78]

Sad news a band I grew up with and saw countless times live and Keith Flint was just mesmerising onstage.

 

[attila]

Accessible dance music for those of us who wanted words and attititude not just 'doof doof'. Really sad about this.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Gutted, can’t believe it. Prodigy were pioneers to me and a massive sound of my teens and early 20’s. Very few other acts have had the effect they had on me in the dance floor with or without substance assistance! To this day if I’m out and they come on I feel like an invincible teenager again! Suddenly feel a bit older.
