OHMYGOSSIP — Iggy Azalea thinks T.I. is a “huge misogynist”.
The 29-year-old rap star has slammed her former mentor in a series of now-deleted tweets, after T.I. recently described Iggy as his “biggest blunder” as a producer.
T.I. told The Root that he was still “actively looking for another female rapper who can undo the blunder of Iggy Azalea”.
He added: “That is the tarnish of my legacy as far as [being a music] executive is concerned … To me, this is like when Michael Jordan went to play baseball.”
But Iggy – who was previously singed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle record label – has hit back at the rapper.
The blonde beauty wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “Imagine thinking I was his biggest blunder lmaoooooooooooooo. Tip. Sweetie. We have a whole list for you. (sic)”
Iggy continued: “The tea I could spill on what bulls**t this is but at the end of the day I think people can see it’s clear he’s salty. He’s a huge misogynist and has never been able to have a conversation with any woman in which he doesn’t speak like a fortune cookie. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Iggy – whose association with T.I. ended in 2015 – recently admitted she is “extremely excited” for her EP to be released.
The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker can’t wait to unveil her new music and promised it would be here by the end of next month.
She wrote on Twitter: “I’m starting to get extremely excited for you to hear my EP. f*********************kk…… (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Voice UK’ stars NXTGEN are hoping to collaborate with Machine Gun Kelly.
The Manchester boyband – comprised of Cian Gleeson, Joel Healey and Sonny Hardman – have continued to work with their coach will.i.am after reaching the knockout rounds of the ITV talent show this year, and have revealed they are hoping to meet up with the US rapper again and potentially discuss getting him on a track after they were introduced to him on the set of their music video in Los Angeles.
In an interview with music blog Lizzie’s Lowdown, they said: “We are used to seeing people like Machine Gun Kelly on our TV back home.
“And then we turned around and saw him on our music video set?!
“He told us that the last time he came to our hometown of Manchester he was hit by a bus.
“It’s the same bus that Sonny uses to get to and from his house.
“We’d talked about getting together again in the future to hang out – so you never know what could happen.”
The trio also got to meet Snoop Dogg and admitted it would be a “dream” to get him on a song, too.
Asked what advice the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker gave them, they spilled: “He’s so cool!
“Very funny and he was joking around with us all on set.
“He’s like a very, very tall kid!
“That’s what his advice was to us, always stay youthful and fun as the music business can be stressful.
“We’d love to have him on a track one day.
“It’d be a dream come true for all of us but especially Sonny as he is a huge Snoop fan.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong was pulling his “hair out” whilst making the band’s new album.
The 47-year-old singer has admitted to experimenting with various sounds during the recording sessions for ‘Father of All Motherf***ers’, which is poised for release in February 2020.
He explained: “I knew I wanted to do something different.
“I’d always loved British mod music from the Sixties, but I wanted to go to where the source was and see if I could put [soul] through the Green Day filter.
“It was a lot of trial and error, a lot of pulling my f***ing hair out.”
Meanwhile, Billie’s bandmate Mike Dirnt thinks the popular band is currently making some of the best music they’ve ever made.
And the 47-year-old bassist is happy and relieved he’s managed to remain at the top of the music industry for so many years.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Mike – who formed the chart-topping band alongside Billie in 1986 – shared: “It’s been a f***ing crazy ride.
“How the hell I’m vertical and still putting out what I consider to be the best f***ing music of our career is beyond me. I’m humbled by it all the time, but I’m still hungry and I still wanna kick a lot of ass.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift says Madonna put on “an outstanding show”.
The ‘You Need to Calm Down’ hitmaker saw the Queen of Pop live in Brooklyn over the weekend, and she showered the ‘Material Girl’ singer with praise over her ‘Madame X’ tour.
Taking to her Instagram Story, she wrote: “Thank you @Madonna for an outstanding show. Shout out to the phenomenal dancers, singers, musicians, set designers, crew, wardrobe, glam, and M who gave it everything.”
The performance came after Madonna, 61, has forced to postpone her show at New York’s BAM Howard Gilman Opera House on October 8 because of a knee injury.
She insisted having to cancel the show hurts her “more than you can imagine”, but reminded fans her alter-ego Madame X is “made of flesh and blood” and needs time for her knee to heal.
She wrote on Instagram: “Its Hard for Madame X to admit that she is also a human being made of flesh and blood and she must rest for the next 3 days to insure full recovery for her knee.
I am not a quitter. This hurts me more than you can imagine. Its time to take those heels and fishnets off for a few days! Thank you for your understanding. See you very soon !! (sic)”
Madonna was previously forced to reschedule a selection of dates on her ‘Madame X Tour’ due to the “highly specialised production elements” of the show.
In a statement, the ‘Vogue’ hitmaker admitted she had “underestimated” the time needed to put on the “most unique and magical musical experience” for her fans, and confessed her alter-ego Madame X is nothing but a “perfectionist”.
She explained: “Madame X is a perfectionist and wants to give you the most unique, magical, and musical experience.
“She underestimated the amount of time it would take to bring this kind of intimate theatrical experience to you and wants it to be perfect!!! Thank you so much for your understanding.”

OHMYGOSSIP — George Ezra says he’s “more rock ‘n’ roll” away from the spotlight.
The ‘Paradise’ hitmaker has confessed that whilst he is happy to play along with his “safe, sweet young man” image, when he’s hanging out with his mates and hitting the booze, he’s the complete opposite.
He told GQ magazine: “In my private life, I would say I’m more rock ‘n’ roll.
“Alcohol is brilliant, because after one pint it’s the best idea in the world to have another.
“I’m not wholesome when I’m with my friends at the pub.
“I’m similar to most 26-year-olds.
“When I first started out I was never sure how the media was going to portray me.
“And when it was as this safe, smiley, sweet young man, I went, ‘I can roll with that.’
“So that’s why I always get funny about the rock’n’ roll thing.
“Any mistakes I need to make, like anybody else my age, will be with people who I trust, behind closed doors.”
The BRIT Award-winner has been open about his battle with his mental health and having therapy and meditation, and he has admitted that the songs on his latest LP ‘Staying at Tamara’s’ were all about escaping how he was really feeling, and so for his next record he plans to switch things up because it didn’t help him ignoring things that were making him unhappy.
He said: “During the course of touring this album, I’ve realised that trying to escape or turn off from things hasn’t helped me at all.
“For my next album, I won’t be focusing on escaping or writing songs about getting away, because, for me, it hasn’t worked.”
George also revealed that his friends think he’s in a “cult” when he tells them about the benefits of doing transcendental meditation – which is the practice of the silent mantra.
He said: “I do transcendental meditation twice a day, but – and this isn’t to be negative about it – I just wish it wasn’t called that, because when I’m trying to communicate with people in the pub about this thing that could change their lives, I know full well they’re thinking, ‘Right. OK. You’ve joined a cult.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Minogue has penned a song for Saara Aalto’s upcoming Christmas EP.
The Finnish pop star – who shot to fame after becoming a finalist on ‘The X Factor’ in 2016 – has revealed the ‘Golden’ singer gave her the festive track, ‘Every Christmas Day’, which she teased is “very, very catchy”, for her EP ‘Fairytale’.
Speaking on Dan Wootton’s talkRADIO show, Saara said: “We met on ‘The X Factor’.
“We sang together and she was so nice. I’ve been working with her producer and that’s how it happened.
“It’s amazing … it’s very, very catchy. It’s gonna be really fun.”
The festive mini album will be released on November 29.
Meanwhile, Saara revealed earlier this year that she was planning to pen songs with Faye Tozer of Steps.
The singer supported the ‘Tragedy’ hitmakers on their tour last summer and said the pair discussed hitting the studio once they were finished with ‘Dancing on Ice’, which ended in March, after they hit it off at the shows.
Saara said: “On the tour we became friends and we are planning to do something together.
“She really wanted to write with me so hopefully that can happen in the near future.
“We were going to do it during the tour and we were really excited but then ‘Strictly’ happened for Faye and then ‘Dancing On Ice’ for me . . . so hopefully after that.”
The 32-year-old singer didn’t say whether the material they plan to work on will be for herself or a new Steps record.
However, the latter are planning a follow-up to their 2017 comeback LP ‘Tears on the Dancefloor’ for 2020.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Cliff Richard has announced a UK tour to mark his 80th birthday.
The ‘Devil Woman’ hitmaker announced on his 79th birthday (14.10.19) that he will be hitting the road on ‘The Great 80 Tour’ next year, which kicks off in Gateshead on September 23, and wraps with two consecutive nights at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London on October 12 and October 13.
The music legend – who has been making records since the 1950s – has slowed down and reduced his touring schedule in recent times, but he has vowed to never retire from the music industry.
Speaking in November, he said: “The word ‘retire’… I don’t think that’s in my vocabulary.
“What I plan to do is what I’ve done now, really.
“I’ve slowed, I’ve made it a level area – I don’t tour for five or six months the way I used to.
“I can come back with my band – they’re all friends of mine.
“We dine together, we stay in the same hotels, we do shows and people come and enjoy themselves.”
Every time he considers quitting, someone suggests a tour and he “just can’t resit it”.
He said: “Sometimes I wake up in the morning and realise I haven’t sung for six months and it’s wonderful not having to worry about my throat giving out.
“So at those moments I think to myself, ‘If I never did another show, I’d be very happy.’ Then, blow me down, somebody suggests going on tour again and I’m saying, ‘Oh, yes please!’ I get all excited again and can’t wait to get out on stage. I just can’t resist it.”
The ‘Bachelor Boy’ hitmaker released his first album of new material in 14 years, ‘Rise Up’, last year.
And Cliff said that he felt the record – which was the follow-up to 2004’s ‘Something’s Goin’ On’ – helped him re-establish himself as an artist and helped him embark on a positive direction.
He commented: “I think with an album it’s a chance for the artist to take themselves and the audience somewhere else.”
Tickets for the ‘The Great 80 Tour’ go on sale on October 25 via Live Nation.

Cliff’s tour dates are:
September 23, 2020 – Gateshead, Sage
September 25, 2020 – Glasgow, Royal Concert Hall

September 29, 2020 – Birmingham, Symphony Hall

OHMYGOSSIP — Travis Scott badly injured his knee during his performance at Rolling Loud in New York – but continued the show like a pro.
The ‘Astroworld’ rapper took a nasty fall on stage at the festival at Citi Field in Queens on Saturday (12.10.19) and he admitted on stage he thought he had broken his knee.
However, he wasn’t going to let the painful injury get in his way of finishing the set.
He told the crowd: “I ain’t gonna lie, I think I just broke my knee right now. But this show cannot stop just yet.”
The hip-hop superstar was seen hopping along as he continued his last song, fan-favourite ‘Sicko Mode’, in footage from the show shared on social media by fans.
The 27-year-old star was also seen wearing a brace around his knee after the trip.
Meanwhile, Travis performed his latest single ‘Highest in the Room’, which features some lyrics which fans believe is referencing his relationship woes with ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner, at the gig.
He raps: “She saw my eyes, she know I’m gone / I see some things that you might fear / I’m doing a show, I’ll be back soon / That ain’t what she wanna hear.”
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star recently took to social media to insist her and Travis are on “great terms” following their recent split and are still really good friends and their “main focus right now” is their 20-month-old daughter Stormi.
Taking to her Twitter account, the 22-year-old reality TV star said: “Travis and i are on great terms and our main focus right now is Stormi !! our friendship and our daughter is priority. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Petras has announced she is bringing ‘The Clarity Tour’ to the UK and Europe next year.
The 27-year-old pop star will play her biggest show to date on British soil at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 11 February, 2020.
The run kicks off in Amsterdam on January 24, and also includes shows in Dublin, Ireland, Glasgow, Scotland, Birmingham and Manchester.
Kim has a special treat in store for fans on Tuesday (15.10.19), as the music video for ‘Icy’ drops at 2pm (BST).
The track is taken from the star’s acclaimed debut album ‘Clarity’, which was released in the summer.
Meanwhile, the German star recently admitted she wants to be “taken seriously as an artist” not as a “transgender artist”.
Kim – who underwent a gender transition when she was 16 – writes songs that are “relatable to anybody” and she doesn’t want her career to be centred on her gender identity.
She said: “I don’t ever want that to be in my songs much.
“I feel like my songs are good because they’re relatable to anybody. I feel like that is a big part of the equality that I want: for people to realise that everybody’s just equal and the same and have the same issues and go through the same things emotionally.
“I just want to be taken seriously as an artist — not as a transgender artist.
“I don’t want my career to be about my gender identity.
“I’ve written too many songs and worked too hard for that.”
However, that doesn’t mean that the ‘Heart to Break’ singer won’t stop being a voice for her community.
She added: “I love being a voice for transgender rights and fighting for what I think is right and making the world a better place.
“Maybe the next generations will have it easier than me.
“I care so much, but at the same time I don’t want it to become about [my gender], because I’m really proud of my music.
“I work really hard on my music. It has nothing to do with me being transgender.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday (18.10.19) from kimpetras.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna would never quit music for good.
The 31-year-old star hasn’t released an album since 2016’s ‘Anti’ but has embarked on a number of acting projects and seen her lifestyle empire explode, but she insisted they don’t mean she’ll give up singing as her music is the “foundation” on which the rest of her endeavours “flourish”.
Asked if she’d ever quit music, she said: “Oh, nooo. Music is, like, speaking in code to the world, where they get it.
“It’s the weird language that connects me to them. Me the designer, me the woman who creates makeup and lingerie — it all started with music.
“It was my first pen pal-ship to the world. To cut that off is to cut my communication off. All of these other things flourish on top of that foundation.”
But the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker admitted her other commitments have stopped her from focusing on her music as much as she’d like.
She told America’s Vogue magazine: “I have been trying to get back into the studio.
“It’s not like I can lock myself in for an extended amount of time, like I had the luxury of doing before. I know I have some very unhappy fans who don’t understand the inside bits of how it works.”
However, Rihanna knows she wants the album to be “reggae-infused.
She said: “I like to look at it as a reggae-inspired or reggae-infused album. It’s not gonna be typical of what you know as reggae. But you’re going to feel the elements in all of the tracks.
“Reggae always feels right to me. It’s in my blood. It doesn’t matter how far or long removed I am from that culture, or my environment that I grew up in; it never leaves. It’s always the same high. Even though I’ve explored other genres of music, it was time to go back to something that I haven’t really homed in on completely for a body of work.”
While her ninth album doesn’t yet have a release date, the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker is already in the “discovery stage” for the follow-up.
She said: “We always went into the music this time around saying that we were going to do two different pieces of art.
“One was gonna be inspired by the music that I grew up listening to. And one was gonna be the evolution of where I’m going next with music.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Smith is planning to release a new album in 2020.
The 27-year-old singer/songwriter is moving away from the “acoustic-y, soulful version of pop music” and plans to sing some more upbeat pop tracks.
The ‘How Do You Sleep’ hitmaker said: “It’s made me feel really good and happy.
“I feel like I have recently shown a side of me which I normally keep to myself or for my family and friends.
“I showed everyone it and everyone loved it. It’s almost given me permission to kinda do what I’ve always dreamed of doing but I was always scared to do, which is pop music.”
Sam was inspired to pen new music following a 2018 duet with Calvin Harris on track ‘Promises’, and “hasn’t stopped writing since” the collaboration.
Speaking on the ‘Zach Sang Show’, the ‘Too Good at Goodbyes’ crooner added: “I just naturally started getting back into the studio and started to write.
“I caught this wind and started riding this wave and I haven’t stopped writing since.”
The album will be a follow up to 2017’s ‘The Thrill of It All’, and hopefully when Sam’s new record drops the star’s supporters will enjoy the tunes a lot more than the ‘Money on My Mind’ hitmaker.
Sam previously said: “I absolutely love listening to [my songs] before they’re released. Once they’re released, something I guess dies.
“As soon as I release a song I stop listening to it and it doesn’t belong to me anymore … I don’t really like the sound of my own voice most of the time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Diana Ross will play the Sunday afternoon Legend’s slot at Glastonbury next year.
The ‘I’m Coming Out’ hitmaker is the first act to be confirmed for the special 50th anniversary edition of the world famous festival, which takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset, south west England, between June 24, 2020 and June 28, 2020.
Diana wrote on Twitter: “This is a dream come true. To all the fans across the world, this is my tribute to you. I’m coming to Glastonbury, with love.”
The festival’s co-organiser, Emily Eavis, added to her own profile: “I am delighted to say that one of the all-time greats, the wonderful Diana Ross, is coming to Glastonbury to play the Sunday legend slot on the Pyramid next year.”
The former Supremes star hasn’t played the UK since her 2007 ‘I Love You Tour’.
The ‘Endless Love’ singer follows in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue, who played the Legend’s slot on the Pyramid Stage this year, and the likes of Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb, Dame Shirley Bassey and Lionel Richie, in landing the special set time reserved for music icons.
Meanwhile, Sir Paul McCartney recently hinted that he could be set to play the music extravaganza next year.
The Beatles legend last played the Pyramid Stage in 2004 and he admitted that he thinks the time has come for him to return to Worthy Farm, especially as his daughters Stella, 47, and Mary, 50, are keen for him to play the festival.
He said: “People are saying that it will be good if I did it, so I’m starting to think about whether I can or whether it would be a good thing.
“My kids are saying, ‘Dad, we’ve got to talk about Glastonbury’, and I think I know what they mean.”
McCartney, 77, insisted that nothing has been set in stone yet, but it’s definitely on the cards.
He added: “We played there quite a long time ago so maybe it is time to go back. I don’t know. I’d have to put a few things in place.
“It’s starting to become some remote kind of possibility. It’s definitely not fixed yet but people are starting to talk about it.”
McCartney’s Glasto hint came after the festival’s founder Michael Eavis dropped a huge teaser that the ‘Let it Be’ hitmaker will be returning to the music extravaganza for its 50th anniversary.
He said: “Paul’s on good form at the moment.”
When asked if he had “spoken to him” and if he was going to play, Michael said: “Hopefully for the 50th, yeah.
“Don’t make a big thing of it though will you?”
Tickets for Glastonbury 2020 sold-out in 34 minutes on Sunday (06.10.19), with a reported 2.4 million said to have been trying to obtain one of the 135,000 tickets that went on sale.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne has postponed his UK and European tour dates again.
The 70-year-old rocker previously had to push back the ‘No More Tours 2’ shows, which were originally planned for this year, after being hospitalised with pneumonia and a subsequent fall in January.
The rescheduled concerts were due to take place from January 2020 through to March 2020, but on Wednesday night (09.10.19) the former Black Sabbath frontman announced that he needs more time to recover from the surgery he underwent after his fall caused the metal rods in his body, which were inserted after a devastating quad bike accident in 2003, to become dislodged.
In a tongue-in-cheek video announcement posted on his social media profiles, in which he insisted he isn’t “dying” or “retiring”, Ozzy said: “Hi everyone, it’s me Ozzy, I’m just here to give you an update on my progression with this f***ing neck thing I’ve got.
“They thought I was dead but I’ve come back again … I’m here to give you an update on my condition.
“Well as you probably know or you may not know, at the beginning of this year, I had a bad fall, I just screwed up the vertebrae in my neck and had to have surgery.
“I’ve got more nuts and bolts in my neck now than my car.
“I’m not dying, I am recovering: it’s just taking a little bit longer than everyone thought it would.”
The ‘Take What You Want’ rocker went on to thank his fans for their patience and said he wants to be “100 per cent” before he kicks off the US run in May, whilst he promised his new album is coming soon.
He continued: “I’m bored stiff of being stuck on a f***ing bed all day.
“I can’t wait to get off my ass and get going again. But you’re going to have to be a bit more patient.
“I’ve postponed my European tour because I am not ready.
“I’m not retiring, I’ve still got gigs to do.
“When I do come out on the American tour, I want to be 100 per cent ready to come out and knock your f***Ing socks off.
“And also, there is a new album on the way.
“Thank you to my band and my crew, Live Nation and most of all … I just want to say one thing to the fans.
“I sincerely thank you for your patience, your loyalty, I love you.
“Now will you f*** off and let me get better.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna turned down the Super Bowl halftime show because she didn’t want to be seen as a “sellout”.
The ‘Wild Thoughts’ singer previously revealed she rejected the chance to headline this year’s show amid the controversy surrounding former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s take-a-knee movement, which protests against racial inequality in the US.
And the Bajan singer has now admitted she also didn’t want to be seen to be showing support to an organisation whose practices she disapproves of, which is why she turned down a mega-sum of money for the gig.
She told America’s Vogue magazine: “I couldn’t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that?
“Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout.
“I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organisation that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.”
On the day of the game held in February, Rihanna poked fun at a passenger on-board a flight she was travelling on, as he asked whether he’d be able to watch the showpiece sporting occasion from his seat.
The ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker called the passenger a “weirdo” and on her Instagram Stories, she was seen making various facial expressions to show that she was unimpressed by his request.
Hours later, Rihanna reiterated her support for Kaepernick by sharing an illustrated drawing of the sportsman.
The caption read: “For those of you who thought I was watchin the Super Bowl… we beefin (sic)”
In the end, this year’s Super Bowl halftime show was played by Maroon 5, who were joined on stage at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, by Travis Scott and OutKast rapper Big Boi.
The band were widely criticised for agreeing to play the gig, but frontman Adam Levine. defended the decision, saying that he gave the issue serious consideration before he committed to playing the halftime show.
The singer – who is married to model Behati Prinsloo – said: “No one thought about it more than I did.
“No one put more thought and love into this than I did. I spoke to many people, most importantly though, I silenced all the noise and listened to myself, and made my decision about how I felt.”
It was recently confirmed that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will play the 2020 halftime show.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jools Holland and Ruby Turner will release new gospel-inspired number ‘Come On In’ on Friday (11.10.19).
The Jazz musician and the British Jamaican R&B and soul singer – who have previously released two albums together, 2015’s ‘Jools & Ruby’ and 2008’s ‘The Informer’ – have teamed up on the new song, which is inspired by blues and soul legends BB King and Al Green.
Jools said: “Ruby’s the greatest joy to work with.
“Whether we are on stage, in the studio, writing at home or running things backstage, we’re always in the same place – which is completely connected musically.
“Lyrically this song captures the beauty, kindness and humanity of Ruby Turner.”
Ruby – who has been a session backing vocalist for Jools, Sir Mick Jagger, UB40 and Bryan Ferry over the years – revealed that due to Jools’ “manic” schedule, it took him two years to finally get around to adding his piano parts.
She added: “When I wrote this song I was inspired by the wonderful BB King and Al Green, their commitment to music and love of gospel, blues and soul.
“It gave me such peace and a strong sense of fellowship and gathering together.
“I proposed it to Jools but his schedule is always so manic that it took him nearly two years to get to it.
“I sang it down the phone to him and he wrote the music, changed the chorus, switched the bridge and structured it.
“We then tried it out live, with no rehearsal, at one of his biggest shows we played that year…”
The song also features the acclaimed Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
Meanwhile, the pair – who have worked together since the 90s – head out on an extensive autumn/winter tour, kicking off on October 24 at Southend Cliffs Pavilion in Essex, and wrapping at Manchester O2 Apollo on December 22.
‘Come On In’ will be available on all major streaming platforms.

OHMYGOSSIP — A mural honouring late Prodigy frontman Keith Flint has been given the seal of approval of his bandmates.
The 49-year-old singer-and-dancer tragically passed away at the age of 49 in March this year, and in honour of his favourite football team, Braintree Town F.C., artist David ‘Gnasher’ Nash painted a striking picture of the ‘Omen’ hitmaker pulling his signature facial expression, sticking out his pierced tongue.
Gnasher has been a fan of the band since the beginning.
He said: “When I first saw Keith Flint on stage it blew me away – his performances always stole the show.”
Braintree FC historian Jon Weaver came up with the idea to create a tribute to Keith, who lived near to the football ground in Essex.
He added to the BBC: “Keith lived locally for most of his life and we wanted to do something for the town.
“We had a space on our water tank next to the grandstand which is ideal for a mural.”
The band’s remaining members, Liam Howlett and Maxim, commented on a picture of the art posted on the football club’s Instagram, writing: “Respect guys LH and M.”
Following Keith’s passing, Braintree’s footballers have walked onto the pitch to The Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’.
The mural unveiling comes after it was announced that Keith’s possessions are heading to auction.
In order to cover his debts, which reportedly amount to around £7.3 million, a number of his personal belongings will go on sale at Cambridge’s Cheffins Fine Art auction house in November.
Martin Millard, the director of auctioneers, said: “The sale is full of interesting items which give an insight into Keith’s personal life and highlight the difference between his stage persona and his private life.
“Valuing items with such provenance is almost impossible, and therefore we will not be publishing any pre-sale estimates, but expect there to be lots to cater to most budgets.”
Among the items listed is the band’s MTV Moonman statuettes and a bespoke bed worth £20,000.
His solo music recordings, The Prodigy’s gold discs and his clothes and accessories, including his signature nose ring, will all be sold.
The late star’s collection of artwork, including a sketch of the singer, which was given to him on his 47th birthday, is also set to go under the hammer.
Keith’s body was discovered at his Essex home and Chelmsford Coroner’s Court heard Flint died from hanging and had unspecified amounts of cocaine, alcohol and codeine in his system at the time.
Police attended the singer’s home at the time and found there were no suspicious circumstances and there was no third party involvement.
The senior coroner for Essex, Caroline Beasley-Murray, recorded an open conclusion, stating there was not enough evidence to rule the musician’s death as suicide.
Following Keith’s death, the band cancelled all of their planned tour dates, including a slot at Glastonbury festival, over two decades since they became the first dance act to headline to legendary music festival in 1997, and one decade after their last appearance in 2009.
In August, the band’s songwriter and producer, Liam, confirmed they were back in the studio for the first time since Keith passed away.
Alongside a studio snap posted on the band’s official Facebook page, Liam – who is joined by Maxim in the group – wrote: “Back in the studio making noise .. brand new Prodigy tunes are gonna roll , boooom
#theprodigy #weliveforthebeats #weliveforever #cantstoptherock (sic)”
It’s not known whether Keith will make a posthumous appearance on any of the new tunes.
