Sad news. Aged 49.

The Prodigy were such a great group - starting off as "happy hardcore" and maturing into a very distinctive act. Such tunes. Awesome live. And seriously technically proficient.

If you were a 90s kid, didn't matter what your musical taste was - everyone seemed to love The Prodigy.

I used to style my little brother's hair like his when he was a baby.

Great frontman, RIP.

RIP Keith!

It's going to seem strange for many who knew me in the 90's as a long haired metaller...

But Prodigy was such a huge part of the soundtrack to my Teen/Y.A years!
Between Feile, sessions and rave mad mates!

A big loss!

The Satanist

Iconic frontman and band, it's rare that they managed to transcend so many genres so successfully. RIP

Not seeing this on BBC.
I will remain skeptical, sure a few months ago it was going around that Elton John had died.

It's true.

BBC is not the only reliable news source around.

Ah man that's a shocker.


Got caught up in that Rave movement in the early 90's. Loved the Prodigy. Feila 94 without drugs I should add was phenomenal!!

EmmetSpiceland

Sad to hear that. Saw them a couple of times back in the day, put on a good show.

RIP

The Prodigy were an incredible live act. They were brilliant at Slane the year Oasis headlined, Oasis were rubbish in comparison!

RIP Keith

Gone to outer space to find another race

Such a big part of my formative years!

Andy-Pandy

I saw them play in Gleneagles in Killarney in 93. I was such a huge fan in my teens. Was allowed to go by my mum (couldn't believe it), put on my raving pants and had the time of my life. The prodigy where such an influencial band for me. So sad to see he died so young.

One of the greatest music videos of all time.

I was just about to say the same thing and i'm a big oasis fan.

Way too young

RIP

Tomw86

Hard to believe - saw them live a few years ago and they were awesome!

Any word on what it was?

Stab*City

My first experience. RIP. Legends.

Crimson King

One of the best live gigs I have ever been at. RIP Keith.

andreac

RIP
They were my first concert i ever went to, back in 1995 at the Point. Brilliant gig.

but1er

That support slot to oasis in slane blew them out the water

banie01

Sometimes...
Even when you wrote the actual instructions down and shared them too...


Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale
Come breathe with me
Breathe with me...

Ya still end up forgetting...

Without fail that song sends a chill down my spine every time I hear it. RIP Keith, thanks for the memories Dude.

Dickerty

Ah shyte, I hope it wasn't self inflicted.

I saw them in Feile 92 (I think), back when he used to roll around the hamster ball, before it was cool!

Pedro K

Glad to have seen them live a couple of years ago at the Point. An unbelievable live band. It's terribly sad news to hear.

Sad news, I enjoyed their gig to finish off Electric Picnic last year.

Me too. NYE 1995.

Uncharted

An epic frontman to an epic band.

The soundtrack to my teens along with millions of others.

RIP Keith Flint

Kind of ironic that one of the tracks to promote their last album was 'We Live Forever'

Voodoo People and other songs were pure metal at heart. That's what made them such a great crossover band. Sad loss.

jiltloop

Gutted at this news, didn't get to see them enough times. The Experience and Jilted Generation albums were incredible and were a huge influence on me in my teenage years.

RIP

Legend.

That's desperate stuff. Never forget the first time I saw The Prodigy live supporting Oasis at Pairc Ui Chaoimh and they absolutely blew Oasis off the stage. They had the whole stadium going absolutely mental and it was almost a come down when the Gallaghers came out.

Saw them headline the Trip to Tipp a few years later and they were even better then.

Must have been a regular enough thing between them and Oasis. I remember going to see Oasis at one of the early 00s Witnness festivals, I was still mad into them then. Prodigy followed them on the main stage, and just blew them and the Fairyhouse crowd away. What a fúcking live sound and performance.

RIP Keith Flint...if possible, you can just picture him doing his thing even in death.
