Badge
The Prodigy, and particularly their enigmatic front man Keith Flint, are one of the key British bands that brought the British rave scene to international and main stream attention in the 1990s. The music, and particularly their music videos for 'breathe' and 'Firestarter' were the anthems for a generation of music fans in the UK and abroad.
On 4 March 2019, the singer Keith Flint was found dead in his home. Shortly after his death, the band confirmed, that "Keef" had committed suicide.
In March 2020, for the first the anniversary of Keith Flint's death, the band released a t-shirt, based on a shirt "Keef" used to wear in the 1990s. The t-shirt and an accompanying free badge were sold via the band's official website and all profits made from the t-shirt were donated to MIND, the UK's mental health charity.
