Leeroy
has left the Prodigy!
The dancer Leeroy Thornhill left the band. Here is the
full story from the english music paper called NME!
"Leeroy Thornhill, dancer with
Prodigy, has left the band while they are in the process
of recording their fourth studio album. In a statement released
today (April 4), Leeroy said: "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". Liam Howlett, the main songwriter
for Prodigy added: "Leeroy's departure from the band is
obviously not going to affect the music. We are both into
different things and moving in different directions but
I respect him and wish him good luck with what he does."
Following the departure of Thornhill, Prodigy are now a
three piece, with Liam Howlett remaining the main songwriter,
and Keith Flint and Maxim Reality providing vocals. All
three are currently working on material for their new album,
which is to be called 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'.
Thornhill has hinted before that the mood within Prodigy
has changed in recent months. Speaking in February this
year, he said: "We got to the point where we weren't 100
per cent satisfied on stage any more because we'd toured
that album such a long time... We were on the road for eight
years and, you know, Maxim's going to have a baby, I'm getting
married. So, you know, we've been taking some time out.
We're not kids any more." Thornhill is expected to start
recording for his solo project, Flightcrank, but a spokesperson
for Prodigy could not confirm any more details."
