04 Mar Mort de Keith Flint : La scène britannique, sous le choc, lui rend hommage
De nombreux groupes et artistes, pour beaucoup influencés par The Prodigy, pleurent aujourd’hui la mort de l’emblématique Keith Flint. L’artiste s’est suicidé à l’âge de 49 ans.
La nouvelle de la mort de Keith Flint a été comme une onde de choc, en France bien sûr où le groupe a trusté les headlines de nombreux festivals (Rock en Seine, Eurockéennes, Vieilles Charrues, Musilac, Solidays…), mais aussi et surtout en Grande-Bretagne.
Pleuré par ses partenaires de scène qui ont confirmé sa mort, Keith Flint a fait l’objet d’une pluie d’hommages. Parmi eux notamment, les mots emplis de tristesse de Rou Reynolds (leader d’Enter Shikari), Shame, Foreign Beggars (qui fut une de leurs premières parties par le passé), Ed Simmons des Chemical Brothers, Kasabian, le guitariste d’Oasis Bonehead (pour mémoire, les Prodigy avaient été leur premier partie à Knebworth en 1996), Ian Brown ou encore Sleaford Mods.
It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint. A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed.
We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time. pic.twitter.com/nQ3Ictjj7t— The Prodigy (@the_prodigy) 4 mars 2019

RIP KEITH FLINT.
I remember when Firestarter came out. I was mesmerized by seeing someone who looked as majestic as Keith taking up space in the mainstream. I instantly had a huge crush, much to my Mum’s dismay. Thank you Keith for being a childhood hero for all the weirdos. pic.twitter.com/PhqITOrOqS

argh.
Keith Flint you bloody legend.
The Prodigy were one of the first big bands we supported years ago and Keith single-handedly shattered my presumption that big stars would have an arrogance and aloofness about them. He was so welcoming, sweet and passionate. 💙

RIP Keith Flint. I damn near burned a hole through The Prodigy Experience in 92 when there wasn’t a lot of accessible dance music in Kentucky. It was a huge deal for me. I can’t overstate it. I’m very grateful to have had proof that this world I wanted so badly actually existed.
