Keith Flint, frontman of iconic dance troupe the Prodigy, has reportedly been found dead at his home today. 

Officers in Essex aren't treating his death as suspicious, and told The Sun: "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.

"We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."

The Prodigy are one of the biggest and most influential bands to come out of the 90s rave scene and went on to produce stellar tracks such as 'Firestarter', 'Breathe', and 'Out Of Space' to name just a few.

Flint, as the group's frontman, was the focal point of the group's high energy shows, with his iconic look a lasting image of the band.
