Has Keith Flint died?

[PutyourtoponTrevor]

Can't find it on the news apps yet my friend says he's died. Hope not 😭

Helena that made me smile thinking of him in tescos fruit & veg isles with his green Mohawk.

DH and i used to live in a bedsit between 1992 and 94 The next door neighbour bought Boyz to Men single End of the Road and would play it constantly on a loop.

So i would stick The Prodigy and Utah Saints on. Loved them.

RIP Keith. Another talented musician lost to bloody suicide. I've seen The Prodigy live on a number of occasions and actually ended up at a party at Keith's house in Essex many moons ago. So sad.

He didn't wear the facial jewellery or his hair spiked that much when he was bimbling around. I used to serve him in the shop a fair bit he looked totally different. He used to pretend to shoot me with the tattooed gun on his hand when I gave him his change seemed a nice man. Loved them live, nothing on Earth like it.

Seems a lifetime ago now but I smile when I remember him buying a highland pony from someone I know and learning to ride etc., he was a good person.

Incredible live, last saw them very recently at ally pally. Was there any happier place to be than dancing all squished up with hundreds of sweaty prodigy people?

I've just seen Luke Perry has died too, of a stroke, aged 52, terribly sad

What terrible news. I wasn't the biggest fan but I grew up with their music on the radio and to and enjoyed much of it. How sad that he suffered so much that felt he had no choice but to commit suicide. I've lost a dear relative to suicide and while any premature death is tragic I know what the additional pain caused by suicide is like for those left behind. I feel for his loved ones.

So sad, same age as me
Rest In Peace Keith, the original firestarter

About 15 years ago a very good friend of mine spent a year or so in Australia.

One day on the beach she heard a few English accents chatting and struck up conversation with one of the group, a very polite young man with wet hair from the sea.

My friend chatted at length for some time about her nursing studies, challenges it presented, her Duke of Edinburgh award and pretty much most of her life story. The young man attentively listened, showing great interest in, and sympathy for, the trials and tribulations of the nursing career.

My friend realised time was passing on and she had somewhere to be. She began to wrap up the conversation but asking what brought the man to Oz before she has to shoot. “I’m on tour with my band” he said. When my friend asked which band he replied “The Prodigy”

Yep, she’d spent the best part of an hour yapping to Keith Flint about her life and not noticed as he didn’t have many/any piercings in and his hair was all wet and stuck to his head.

A true gent with great empathy and much time for others, by all accounts.

RIP Keith.

Cookmysock what a shock! I had to check it was the luke Perry I thought it was.

What on earth! Both of them far too young.

I just read they were gonna be at Glastonbury this year

Anyone remember ‘prodigy electronic punks’, all that footage from early - mid 90s? So funny!

Such energy, hope hes kicking arse elsewhere, RIP Keith and thank you!
