“We were called to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Brook Hill, North End, just after 8.10am on Monday,March 4,” an Essex Police spokesperson told NME. “We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

“We sent an ambulance officer, Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and one ambulance. Sadly a man in his forties died at the scene.”

 

 

Born 17 September 1969, Flint joined THE PRODIGY  in 1990 – before they found fame and acclaim for their pioneering approach, genre-clash sound and dark lyrics on 1992 debut ‘Experience’ and the 1994 Number One album ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’. He lent vocals to their first Number One singles ‘Firestarter’ and ‘Breathe’ from 1997’s ‘Fat Of The Land’, which has sold 10million copies to date.

 

Their last album was the acclaimed ‘No Tourists‘ in 2018.

 

“This is a brilliant – and brilliantly brutal – collection; pulsing dance music that, for all its heaviness and techno sensibilities, retains a glimmer of pop accessibility because it’s so well pieced together and just so much fucking fun,” wrote NME in a five star review. “Viva The Prodigy.”
