I’m 21 years old and words can’t describe how gutted I am to not have seen Keith flint live! Been brought up around rave music as my parents are both in their 40’s and both grew up raving to the prodigy and general rave music. I’m now doing the same as my parents were just 20 years later, mannn I wish I was around for the 90’s!
Year 1992 in Poland. I was 14. Hardly anyone had any experience of western life, culture and freedom at that time. I remember my neighbour went on holidays and let me used his cable tv. I was watching MTV for one week. And this is how I first got to know these guys, seeing Everybody In The Place video. And I was absolutely overwhelmed. I recorded it on my VHS and then lost myself dozens of times. 23 years later I met Keith Flint in Isle of Man where I live now and gave him a lift. He was a motorbike enthusiast and the island is famous for the most dangerous motorbike road races. We had a short chat but I could see instantly he was really cool guy. Natural and straight forward. I told him I was going to see him in a few weeks in Poland with thousands of fans at the Opener festival. He didn’t even hesitate, just smiled and offered me VIP tickets. I am truly sad and feel like something really good is gone. Rest in peace Mr Flint
