The Prodigy have shared a message about speaking out in times of ill mental health following frontman Keith Flint's death.
It's been just over two months since the death of The Prodigy frontman Keith Flint, and the band have since shared a message about speaking out in times of ill mental health.
"It has been a tough time for everyone over the last few weeks since Keef's passing," they write on Instagram. "If you are struggling with depression, addiction or the impact of suicide, please do not suffer in silence. The Prodigy fully support the campaign to improve mental health for all and give it the respect it deserves. For professional advice in the UK please visit www.mind.org.uk, www.thecalmzone.net, www.samaritans.org. For local services around the world, please seek help here."
The Prodigy's manager Nick Halkes – who managed them from the very beginning – recently described how Keith had an “immense” onstage presence and was an “extraordinary performer”, while also being “witty, charming, pensive and mercurial” away from the settings of a live show.
Download Festival head honcho Andy Copping, meanwhile, told us that Keith “was always respectful; always a bit of a cheeky-chappy; always up for a laugh; he loved what he was doing and above everything just massively respectful. He always had time to say hello when I saw him. He would go, ‘Fucking Download is our favourite festival,’ and he never forgot what it meant them as a band and to him as a person. The festival took The Prodigy and Keith to their hearts and he never lost that – he always remembered that.”
