Sad News, so many memories

3luckystars · 04/03/2019 15:31

The prodigy were blaring on the radio earlier, this must be why.
He is very young at 49.

drinkswineoutofamug · 04/03/2019 15:55

I'm reliving my youth and playing it full blast minus the glow stick . Found all my cds

Billballbaggins · 04/03/2019 15:56

Yes, he took his own life according to his friend and band mate Liam. So so sad, he was so talented.

HiGunny · 04/03/2019 16:00

So sad 😥 I was a big Prodigy fan back in the 90s. Saw them live once and to this day it was one of the best gigs I was ever at.

BringMeTea · 04/03/2019 16:14

Very sad indeed. May he RIP.

Graphista · 04/03/2019 16:36

Shocked to see this news. So incredibly sad. I wasn't a particular fan but the prodigy were impossible to escape really for anyone clubbing in the 90's and the music impossible not to dance to.

So young and such an incredibly sad cause of death. Died of depression. Time we stopped saying "why" when this illness has no more "reason" than any other. Instead let's keep pushing for better treatment for the mentally ill.

RIP Keith hope you're feeling genuine peace now. Sad

HelenaDove · 04/03/2019 16:59

OMG Just seen this. We live in the same town where hes from We all grew up here I have fond memories of blaring their music in our old bedsit.

He was often spotted in our local Tesco With the unmistakable dyed green hair shaped into horns

RIP Keith You will be missed. Sad Thanks

SimoneStrasser · 04/03/2019 17:15
