R.I.P. Keith Flint

2019-03-04 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 78 Comments
The Prodigy's vocalist, Keith Flint was found dead this morning at his home in Dunmow, Essex. He was only 49 years old.
An Essex Police spokesman told The Sun Online: "We were called to concerns for the welfare of a man at just after 8.10am on Monday.
"We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."

An East of England Ambulance spokeswoman said: "We were called at 8.08am with reports of a man who was unconscious in Dunmow. We sent an ambulance officer, Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and one ambulance. Sadly a man in his forties died at the scene."

According to bandmate Liam Howlett, the cause of Flint's death was suicide. He wrote on Instagram:
"The news is true , I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend. I’m shell shocked , f**kin angry , confused and heart broken ..... r.i.p brother Liam"

For this Essex lad The Prodigy live V97 was earth shattering. The Prodigy on home soil were electrifying. Flint was pure uncontained energy well and truly having it. It’s a memory I’ll never forget. Cheers Keef.

Saw the Prodigy at dawn many years ago after the wildest festival night I've ever seen. The energy he got out of the sad corpses that were still awake at 6am was just unbelievable.

RIP legend.

Absolutely gutted. Huge part of my upbringing. (2)

Spent a great deal of my teens blasing Firestarter, Spitfire and Poision. Even then I was more into metal but Prodigy was equally heavy and hard-hitting and thought me to be open for other musical genres.

Seems to be a common trend for some rockstars, I couldn't imagine going from being the biggest thing around and worshipped in my 20's, pulling in unlimited amounts of cash and being the center of attention, to being in your 40's/50's, irrelevant, body deteriorating, most likely in tons of debt, paying alimony for sometimes multiple failed marriages, having to tour just to survive to make debt payments, etc.

There's no way you haven't heard Breath as well, that single was arguably the most played song on my local radio station of their songs.

I know everyone references the first 3 albums but their new one is quite fun, and TDISME had some absolute bangers like Roadblox, Wild Frontier and Rok-Weiler. Even their lesser albums like AONNO have songs like Spitfire.

This one indeed stings, I wonder what made him do it. His music will always make me have nostalgic high-school memories, RIP brother.

I liked even their later music. they did that song with Sleaford Mods that was great. That was pretty recent.
