Quote:
On the walls, there are photos of artists Russell has worked with who have died: Gil Scott-Heron glowers; the Prodigy’s Keith Flint offers a sweet, shy smile, a million miles from his Firestarter public image. That’s what he was like, says Russell. “Incredibly funny, full of life. I was aware he had a troubled side.”

Flint’s childhood was unhappy: he had depression and was addicted to painkillers. “But I don’t think anyone doesn’t have that side. It’s more a question of: ‘What are you doing about it?’ But Keith was doing 10k runs, he had horses.” He sighs. “When someone kills themselves, can’t help but feel – what if he’d waited 20 minutes? Or something else had happened?”

After Flint’s death, Russell saw a documentary about the soul singer Teddy Pendergrass, who was left feeling suicidal after being paralysed in a car crash. His therapist staged a mock funeral, allowing Pendergrass to hear his friends and family’s eulogies. Realising how much he meant to them, Pendergrass decided to live. “I thought, ‘Fucking hell, I could imagine that working.’ If Keith could have witnessed what people said after his death, how they expressed themselves at his funeral, I think that would have had a huge impact on him.”

the memories of this forum will never leave me,
the drummer demo tape,
making tunes with fellow forum members.
seeing every album come with a new change....a bunch of moaners.
meeting members of the forum for real at gigs!

Interesting to hear he never met any of The Prodigy.

"Celebrated" (is this the good word when we're talking about the death?) the 2nd anniversary with one of the music channel dedicating the full hour only for Prodigy videos

If you have some spare time I recommend digging into this reddit post.

Many great stories from people who meet Keef over the years. Neighbours, pub clients etc.

Our brother was a truly amazing good guy
