Keith Flint

Keith Flint, member of the British dance group The Prodigy, committed suicide on March 4, 2019.

What happened
In February 2019, Flint made his last public appearance with the Prodigy at the Trusts Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. On March 2, he took part in the Chelmsford Parkrun.

On March 4, at just past 8:10 in the morning, Essex police were called to Flint's home, where he was found unconscious. He was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of hanging.

Aftermath
Following Flint's death, musicians from across the world paid tribute to him, highlighting his kindhearted personality which contrasted with his flamboyant, aggressive onstage persona.

Fans used the #Firestarter4Number1 on social media to get the Prodigy song to the top of the charts, out of respect for Flint and to raise awareness of male mental health issues.

"Firestarter" re-charted on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Songs Sales chart at #13.
