    So just as the title states, after the sad news of Keith Flint today, it got me thinking about who I have seen (solo or a band member) no longer with us.

    Off the top of my head,

    James Brown,
    Amy Winehouse,
    Glenn Frey with the eagles,
    Keith Flint with the prodigy (unfortunately)
    Chester with Linkin Park (like all teenagers at the time I had a phase)

    There are probably plenty more that will come back to me but interesting to see what older legends from years back people got to see
