Just heard about the suicide of Keith Flint. He was the lead singer of The Prodigy. People reading this in England and Ireland will know that group well, not sure how well known The Prodigy are in America/Canada. This suicide is fucking inexplicable, he seemed like the last guy you would expect to check out by suicide. I always imagine it’s the quiet, deep guy who takes his life but you never really know. R.I.P Keith and thanks for the music.

I hadn’t heard of him/them (in the USA), but a brief read through the articles tells me that they were a dark, anti-pop type band so suicide doesn’t surprise me one bit. I would be surprised if a bouncy pop singer commits suicide but afaik that’s never happened (while they were popular). Anyway, kudos to Keith for punching his own ticket. That takes balls.
This is sad. Alexa, play The Fat Of The Land.
I’ve been listening to them for a little over 20 years now. I was bummed to hear the news. Keith was a truly unique performer.
Canadian and I love The Prodigy. Very sad. RIP.
