Apr 11: Keith's Bench

On the local news a few weeks ago there was news of a story about a bench.

The bench was placed in the churchyard where Keith Flint of The Prodigy was buried.

When a musician who many people adored dies, there is often a need for a place of pilgrimage.

Consider the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. Jim Morrison of The Doors is buried there, along with other musicians, plus authors such as Georges Perec.

The Prodigy's most famous track is called 'Firestarter' and here it is.

They are one of my brother's favourite bands.


The bench is scorched black.

Band manager John Fairs and Prodigy founder Liam Howlett worked on the design and family members signed it off, the company said.
