2019 está siendo un año bastante complicado y justo cuando apenas estábamos procesando el fallecimiento de Mark Hollis y Andy Anderson, ahora empezamos la semana con la inesperada muerte de Keith Flint de The Prodigy.
Liam Howlett, la mente detrás de la banda, fue el encargado de confirmar la noticia a través de Instagram, donde además mencionó que Keith decidió quitarse la vida, pues los reportes de la policía de Essex indican que su fallecimiento no está siendo tratando como algo «sospechoso».
Keith tenía 49 años de edad y desde que se dio a conocer la noticia no solo nos enteramos que la banda ya estaba bookeada para tocar en Glastonbury, sino que además han aparecido distintos tributos al mando de The Chemical Brothers, Jo Wiley, Perc, The Black Madonna, HEALTH y muchos más.
Acá les dejamos algunos de ellos:

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.

Keith Flint kept a swearbox above the fire in the pub he used to own (The Leather Bottle in Pleshey, Essex). Whenever he put the logs and kindling in and someone piped up with the obvious joke, he’d point to it and charge them a quid. RIP. pic.twitter.com/lEYZPXfrFj
