No way. Love the prodigy and especially flint. Was fortunate to see them a few years ago. Best performance and atmosphere ever.

Saw him on the beach next day but didnt get a picture. Wish I did.

Great act.

Holy s**t, that's a real shame. Prodigy were ace for a while back then.

Saw them at Glastonbury in ‘95. Great show. That’s a real shock. Was only listening to them the other day.

RIP...loved him, soundtrack to my early school years then blown away by fat of the land at the end and, ten years later me and some mates from Sheffield had invaders must die cd on non stop from Bundaberg to Sydney in our rented wicked van after the play off final..I have a mate who was and still is in love with that band, tattoos everywhere, seen them loads of times, she'll be heartbroken...one of the best live acts I've ever seen.

Music for the Jilted Generation was an absolute seminal album. Still brilliant now.

Pretty shocked he’s so young. Wonder what’s happened.

Saw them at Glastonbury, late 90's.

Brilliant act, main stage at night.

If he is, should be quite straightforward. He IS the firestarter after all....

Gutted.

Saw them live in 2009 and they were absolutely mind blowing.

Their live 2011 album is still played in my house on a regular basis.

RIP Keith.

Great entertainer and a real character.

Keith Hill sacked by Rochdale too - not a good day for Keith’s.
