The Prodigy have confirmed that they will not play live shows for the foreseeable future, cancelling all planned shows following the death earlier this week of frontman Keith Flint.

In a post shared on Twitter, the group said: "Following the tragic death of Keith Flint all forthcoming Prodigy shows will be cancelled with immediate effect."

They had been due to head out on a tour of the US in May, while a number of European festival appearances, including at Glastonbury, were also scheduled for the summer.

Keith Flint was found dead at his home in Dunmow, Essex, on March 4, after taking his own life. He was 49 years old.
