The Prodigy’s singer Keith Flint committed suicide, joining a sad list of musicians who decided to take their own lives.
A voice ubiquitous with the mid-1990s fell silent on March 4, as Keith Flint, lead singer for The Prodigy, was found dead in his Essex home. The 49-year-old singer on such massive hits as “Firestarter” and “Breathe” was the latest musician to do the unthinkable and commit suicide. “I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend,” Keith’s friend and former bandmate, Liam Howlett, 47, wrote on Instagram. “I’m shell shocked, f*ckin angry, confused and heartbroken.”
Liam was not the first musician to commit suicide and unfortunately, he will likely not be the last. News of his death reopened the wounds left by the passing of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. Chris, as the lead singer of Soundgarden, spoke to a generation of rock and metal fans during the heyday of grunge.
