British techno punks THE PRODIGY play live for the first time
again (only UK dates so far) since eccentric and turbulent frontman
Keith Flint took his own life 3 years ago. He was only 49. R.I.P.
Looking back at a smashing Keith Flint live moment…
4 March 2022
Keith Charles Flint was born on 17 September 1969 in Redbridge, London.
He started his musical career in 1990 as a dancer for Liam Howlett‘s techno-punk
project The Prodigy. He became the flamboyant co-vocalist in 1996 with the band’s
third LP The Fat Of The Land and the group’s eccentric and heated performer
on stage along with Maxim.
Three years ago today, on 4 March 2019, he took his own life.
Only 49. Sad, really sad. Rest in peace.
Three great Keith Flint moments…
– NO GOOD (Start The Dance)
(Keith as the long-haired dancer)
– FIRESTARTER –
(Punked-up star)
– BREATHE –
(Live)
THE PRODIGY: Story
10 May 2021
Nothing or nobody can stop TOYAH, her husband/soulmate ROBERT
FRIPP and friend Sydney from going loco every week – since April 2020 –
with their Sunday Lunch cover sessions.
This time they picked a not-so-obvious, but fitting, cracker from British
electro bulldozers The Prodigy. Again their hilarious performance will
put a big smile on your face.
Start the fire here and go loco too…

1. A Design For Life by MANIC STREET PREACHERS
One word: EPIC!
We don’t talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
2. Don’t Look Back In Anger by OASIS
Shivers down your spine, and when thousands
sing along it’s a flabbergasting experience…
And so Sally can wait
She knows it’s too late
As we’re walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don’t look back in anger
I heard you say
3. You’re Gorgeous by BABYBIRD
Not really the love song many thought it was. Anyway
a titanic tune, I and many lovers, never get tired of…
Because you’re gorgeous
I’d do anything for you
Because you’re gorgeous
I know you’ll get me through
4. Firestarter by THE PRODIGY
Inflammable techno stormer. Rest in peace, Keith Flint…
I’m the trouble starter, punkin’ instigator
I’m the fear addicted, a danger illustrated
I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You’re a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter
5. Devils Haircut by BECK
Not a loser at all…
Somethin’s wrong cause my mind is fading,
And everywhere I look there’s a dead end waiting,
Temperature’s dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces
Got a devil’s haircut in my mind
Liam Howlett after he heard the news of band-member
and dear friend Keith Flint took his own life…
The late great Prodigy face Keith Flint…
