Keith Flint - RIP

Genuinely shocked to hear that Keith Flint, lead screamer and master of mayhem with The Prodigy, has passed away at just 49 years old. No idea what the cause was yet, not that it really matters, but sad news indeed. The Prodigy started off as a bit of a rave novelty act with Charly but over the years grew to become one of the more interesting and entertaining 'alt dance/big beat' bands around. I genuinely remember hearing Firestarter for the first time lying in bed one Saturday morning and thinking "What the hell is this...?" and being amazed that it was The Prodigy. I mean, where the hell did that come from eh? It still sounds epic a mere 23 years later. RIP Keith.
