    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.

    Love the Prodigy. Remember buying Charly on 7" single back in 91. Memories of my youth. R.I.P to a legend, and nice guy too.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    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.
