"I have been a full member of Prodigy for a brilliant nine years but I wish to concentrte fully on my own music as Flightcrank and I wish the band all the best for the future".
- Leeroy Thornhill 4th April 2000 -

In spring 2000 Leeroy left the Prodigy. The most important reason was that he wanted to concentrate to his own music (see solo section). His solo project is called "Flightcrank". Leeroy has done some remixes to artists such as Shades Of Rhythm, Dr. Dooom and Southern Fly. Leeroy Thornhill is from Essex (born October 8, 1968). Leeroy is the very tall 6' 7" (2 m.) black man. He used to be the second quietest right after Liam.

As above Leeroy was a big rave fan and hooked up with Liam through friends on the scene. He is also great dancer with incredible footwork. (Most of his dance moves come from watching James Brown videos). He makes it look real easy, but chances are you'll never be able to move like this guy. He was also into the breakdancing phase that swept the world in the mid-eighties, and would regularly equip himself with a beefy stereo, bottle of Mr. Sheen and a piece of lino and make his way out into the streets to breakdance with his mates.

Tall and normal looking compared to the rest of the band, he was just as or even crazier than the others. According to several Prodigy articles on NME and Melody Maker, he was probably the most perverted and sick one of them all. Basically he was not afraid to show his true feelings, or enjoy being in a techno band that rocks the hardest. He was defintitely one to watch on stage. He really added depth to an already insane group. He is a big football fan (he also played at the popstar soccer championships).

Leeroy's last gig with Prodigy was Sophia, Bulgaria (August 1999). He also played a bit of drums at that gig.
