Prodigy fans have been invited to join the procession route at Keith Flint’s funeral next week.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday (March 23), the band welcomed fans to join them and “raise the roof” in tribute to the late frontman.

Flint took his life at 49 ealier this month (March 4) at his home in Essex. A hugely influential figure in music and life for many, his band members and fellow ravers want fans to be able to “pay their final respects” at the funeral in Essex on Friday (March 29).

The band tweeted: “Fans are invited to line the procession route, starting at 3pm in Braintree, Essex on Fri 29th March, to pay their final respects & ‘raise the roof’ for Keef!

“If anyone wishes to lay flowers or tributes these should be sent to St Mary’s church in Bocking, no later than 2pm Friday.”

The Prodigy also added that although the ceremony itself will be for family and friends, fans can listen to the live funeral proceedings through nearby speakers. “The church service will just be for family and close friends, but there will be speakers relaying the ceremony outside the church for everyone to hear”.
