Rest of the band released a statement, saying: “It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint. A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed. We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time.”
Liam Howlett who put together the band in 1990 also wrote on Instagram: “I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend. I’m shell shocked, fuckin angry, confused and heart broken …. r.i.p brother Liam”.

This news comes as a big shock to me, as The Prodigy was the first electronica band I felt in love with. I worshiped them my entire teenage years and collected their entire VHS and cassette collection back in the day.
Rest in peace Keith, you will be missed.
