The Buzz | Keith Flint, singer of electronic band The Prodigy, dies
Keith Flint, lead singer of influential British dance-electronic band The Prodigy, was found dead Monday at his home near London, the band said. He was 49. Prodigy co-founder Liam Howlett said in an Instagram post that Flint killed himself over the weekend. “I’m shell shocked […] confused and heart broken,” he wrote. Police confirmed that the body of a 49-year-old man had been found at a home in Brook Hill, northeast of London. They said the death was being treated as non-suspicious.
Flint was the stage persona of the band, whose 1990s hits “Firestarter” and “Breathe” were an incendiary fusion of techno, breakbeat and acid house music.
Flint was renowned for his manic stage energy and distinctive look: black eyeliner and hair spiked into two horns.
