LONDON - Keith Flint, the singer and iconic frontman of British rave scene band The Prodigy, has died at the age of 49, the electronic pop group said.
Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious after finding his body on Monday in Essex, northeast of London. "We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed," Essex Police told AFP.The Prodigy issued a statement calling Flint a"true pioneer, innovator and legend", Britain's domestic Press Association news agency reported.
Heavily tattooed and topped with a bleached mohawk, Flint helped turn The Prodigy into one of the most influential groups to emerge from the underground rave scene. Their biggest hits included"Firestarter" and"Smack My B***h Up", which merged intense dance beats with punk elements."There really needed to be an antidote to the DJ scene, which made it quite brutal."
