Prodigy frontman Keith Flint dead at 49

The world is in mourning today as news breaks of the passing of Keith Flint, frontman for The Prodigy, who took his own life over the weekend at the age of 49. The influential vocalist was found dead Monday at his home near London.

Prodigy co-founder Liam Howlett was one of the first to break the news to the public via Instagram. Howlett had the following to say of his friend and bandmate’s suicide:

“The news is true , I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend, I’m shell shocked , f***in angry , confused and heart broken ..... r.i.p brother Liam”

In an early morning tweet the band announced the following:

“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.”

The Prodigy formed in the early 1990s when Flint, born in East London in 1969, met Howlett at a nightclub in Braintree, Essex, where he had moved to as a child. Known as much for its overt anti-establishment stance as for its music, the band developed a strong following and were considered pioneers of electronic music.

Unusual Oscar Stories

With the recent controversy surrounding the upcoming Academy Awards we thought we’d share some unusual stories of the Oscars. Specifically, the award trophies themselves. Here are four unusual stories about the ways Oscar recipients have treated their prizes.

An unusual doorstop. Although his views would later change, early on in his career Charlie Chaplin didn’t think very fondly of the Academy Awards. In fact, his first Oscar received in 1929 had a special use in his home, as a doorstop.

Cracking open a cold one. Timothy Hutton and his sister once decided to throw a party, and to entertain their guests they decided to throw Timothy’s 1981 Best Supporting Actor Oscar into the fridge to greet guests as they went to grab a beer. It has lived in the fridge ever since.

Bigger eggs. Russell Crowe won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2000 for his role in Gladiator. Of all places to display it, Crowe chose to prominently place his Oscar in the chicken coop on his ranch in Australia. He claims the award helps the chickens lay bigger eggs.

Dressed in drag. John Lassiter received not one but two Academy Awards for his work with Pixar, the first for Tin Toy in 1989 and the second for Toy Story in 1996. Along the way he made a discovery: Barbie clothes fit the trophy almost perfectly.
