Blimey. Only 49...

Apparently he took his life.
I have so much early teen memories connected with The Prodigy.

Omg, that was a shock when read about it

I think this is not the first suicide this year, i hope it will stop here

Wow, such terrible news.
The Prodigy were a massive part of my youth, so much energy and influence.

Ouch!

This is very sad to hear ... ... and even more terrible ... I'm very sorry for him and for his friends and family, whose lives have also crashed now ...

WTF? Jeeez that's atrocious news. RIP Keith, had some great times at your gigs Sir.

So many memories. I’ll second the “ouch�.

ouch thirded. all the tributes i've seen today are all about Keith's kindness.

Me too mate. Both Middlesbrough Town Hall and Manchester Academy in 1994 were unforgettable

Glastonbury, the very wet year

Funnily enough, T in the Park (95 or 96, something like that, Leftfield, Black Grape and Alanis Morrisette also played, so that one) was the one for me, bloody mental locals larging it like they meant it and seemingly half the festival up on the stage by set's end. Glorious.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last few days. I think it's terribly sad when anyone kills themself. I hear that the key demographic, people most at risk of suicide, are men aged 45-50.

That's an awful lot of us.

Look out for one another.

And if anyone ever wants to reach out to me for any reason, please let me know.

Indeed, mental health is no joke, and it's always good to remember our people that at the end of the day we are a community, and we, Heartlanders will always be there for each other.

What the good Mr Fiend said...

My door and ears will be open too.

So sad. Seeing John Lydon's response was heartbreaking as well. Awfully sad for everyone.

DH told me this morning. Very sad.
