Muere el cantante de "The Prodigy"

The Prodigy frontman Keith Flint has died, aged 49.
The “Firestarter” singer was reportedly found dead at his home in Dunmow, Essex.
An Essex Police spokesman said: “We were called to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Brook Hill, North End, just after 8.10am on Monday

“We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”

East of England Ambulance services were called to the scene, where an unnamed man was initially found unconscious. An ambulance was sent but the person, later reported to be Flint, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Flint quickly became one of the figureheads of British electronic music during the Nineties as frontman of The Prodigy. Although he initially joined the group – formed by producer Liam Howlett in 1990 – as a dancer, he later graduated to singer, performing the 1996 tracks “Firestarter” and “Breathe”. Both singles became staples of the UK rave scene.

Flint and Howlett, who were soon joined by rapper Maxim and keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, scored their first number one record with Music for the Jilted Generation. Their proceeding five studio albums and one compilation record all topped the UK album charts.
Radio DJ Jo Whiley led tributes to Flint, writing on Twitter: “Oh this is sad news. The death of Keith Flint. Whenever our paths crossed he was an absolute sweetheart. Really lovely. Incredible iconic frontman with a soft centre.”

Ed Simons, a member of the fellow electronic music group The Chemical Brothers, tweeted: “Oh gosh, so sad to hear about Keith Flint, he was always great fun to be around and very kind to Tom and I when we first started doing shows together.. great man.”
Chase & Status, a group heavily inspired by The Prodigy, wrote: “Absolutely devastated to hear the tragic news that the legend Keith Flint from The Prodigy has passed away. Our thoughts & condolences are with all his friends and family. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Keith and the life changing music they made and championed. RIP.”

una vez pinche con uno de los de the prodigy, neցro alto creo que era bailarín antes, el tío un auténtico crack, se agarraba unas melopeas de no tenerse en pie, es la primera vez que veo un tío pinchando con una palangana debajo y echando la pota periódicamente (y sin parar de beber) si el "mindundi" llevaba este ritmo de vida no quiero saber el cantante. Por cierto que además el tio lo hacía bien a pesar de que se tambaleaba.
