James Blunt shares sweet story about Keith Flint James Blunt has paid tribute to The Prodigy’s Keith Flint with a heartfelt story about his first time meeting the late singer who died today. The death of the singer was announced on Monday morning and James has managed to move many fans ‘to tears’ with a story that involves Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller and Damon Albarn during a past Q Awards ceremony. Even though the pair only met each other once, the encounter clearly stuck with James as he described Keith being there for him. He also claimed Noel, Damon, and Paul were not so nice. Taking to Twitter on 4 March the You’re Beautiful singer wrote: ‘At the Q Awards years ago, when @NoelGallagher was saying he was leaving Ibiza because I’d moved there, and @DamonAlbarn refused to be in the same picture as me, and @PaulWellerHQ was saying he’d rather eat his own shit than work with me, Keith Flint came over, gave me a hug, and said how thrilled he was for my success.’ Advertisement Advertisement He continued: ‘Keith, I only met you once, but I shed a tear at the news of your death. In our business, there are no prizes for being kind, but if there was, that Grammy would be yours.’ Keith’s death was announce on Monday (Picture: Martyn Goodacre/Getty Images) One user responded to his tweet writing: ‘Goes to show you can have all the success in the world just as Keith did but at the end of the day being remembered as a kind human being is an even greater legacy.’ ‘Keith Flint was the perfect example of never judging a book by its cover, he looked like a complete nutter but I don’t think you’ll find anyone that’ll say a bad word against him, the music industry and motorbike racing world won’t be the same without him,’ responded another. Meanwhile, some fans called his mention of Noel and Paul ‘passive aggressive’. Earlier today, as the death of The Prodigy singer Keith Flint was announced on Monday, it was also revealed by Glastonbury bosses he was due to play the famous festival this year alongside his bandmates. The dance group had performed as recently as last month and had scheduled gigs throughout the year. Fellow artists and collaborators shared their shock and sadness at the singer’s passing aged 49 – with bandmate Liam Howlett claiming he died by suicide – while Glastonbury’s Emily Eavis announced the band were set to take on Worthy Farm in June.
