Keith Flint, a provocative frontman of British dance act The Prodigy who helped bring electronic music into America’s mainstream, has died at the age of 49. No cause of death was confirmed, though bandmate Liam Howlett wrote on Monday morning that “our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend.”
The Prodigy confirmed Flint’s death Monday on its Facebook account. “It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint,” the statement read. “A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed.”
Flint was the face of “Firestarter,” The Prodigy’s 1996 anthem that is often credited with popularizing dance music in the U.
