The Prodigy star Keith Flint has been found dead at his home, aged 49.

The iconic singer, from Dunmow, Essex, was discovered at around 8am this morning after police and paramedics were called to the property.

Officers remain outside the rural cottage this morning but his death is not being treated as suspicious.

Famed for his devil-horns haircut and intense stage performances - the iconic 90s musician was performing just last month in New Zealand on a world tour set to run until May.

The Essex boy was the face of the rave band and took centre stage on their best-known hit Firestarter, the single which launched him as an icon.

His Prodigy bandmates described him as a "true pioneer, innovator and legend”.

In a statement, they said: "It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint.

"A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed.

"We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time."

Very sad. Rest in peace.

I knew a guy that used to do a LOT of LSD in the 90's.... he said he was laying on the floor next to some candles and accidentally knocked one (some?) over but was so out of it he didn't know if he was dreaming or not until the flames engulfed a wall and eventually the whole house.
He freaked out and just ran away without waiting for emergency services to come.... and went back to see if any of his possesions survived a week or so later.... the only CD that survived was Prodigy- Firestarter. :biglaugh:

RIP Keith
