- Up now on Dalston's Beechwood Road, the crowdfunded piece is to raise awareness for World Suicide Prevention Day.
A mural to the late frontman of The Prodigy Keith Flint has been unveiled in Hackney, East London.
A collaboration between mental health festival Headstock and Manchester artist Akse P19, the crowdfunded piece sits on Dalston's Beechwood Road, right by the site of the former Four Aces Club, where Prodigy played their first-ever gig in 1991. The mural is based on a photo by Rahul Singh.
The mural was deliberately revealed today, September 9th, ahead of tomorrow's World Suicide Prevention Day. The image of Flint, who took his own life in March 2019, is accompanied by the logo for Shout 85258, a free support service for anyone who is struggling to cope.
