Iconic music figure of the 90s, Fat Of The Land was a fantastic album especially Breathe, brilliant.

Yeah it's a real shame, just heard them say on the radio. I use to be really into my metal and rock when I was younger and had the pleasure of seeing prodigy at download festival 10 or so years ago.

For a electronic music act their fans sure know how to mosh! I all got a bit too much for me and I decided to crowd surf out before I got hurt.

The prodigy were theme tune to my college years.......rip Keith!

I got into them when I heard 'Charly' on the radio. A few years ago now.

It seems it was suicide, mental illness is a terrible thing.

I read “... took his own life...” then further down “...police are investigating....”

I wouldn’t jump to the first conclusion.

I saw them at T in the park ‘97 or ‘98.... a dark gloomy Saturday afternoon....the guys started playing and the sun came out, like it was a preplanned spotlight on the stage.

I’m going to sit on YouTube tonight and watch all the videos starting with Charley.
Never has a sample of a soundtrack to a safety awareness campaign ever gone to better use.

Liam Howlett has confirmed that Keith had taken his own life.

Normally I can decipher what you mean, Buzz... but you got me stumped this time.


Watching the old stuff, Keith and Maxim didn't half change their style for Firestarter
