The Prodigy recently honored their first-ever manager, Ziggy Chowdry, who passed away at the age of 60. The band expressed their deep sorrow over his death, calling him a “force of nature” in a poignant tribute on Instagram.

Chowdry played a pivotal role as their manager since 1991, securing their first performance at the 4 Aces in Dalston. He initially encountered the group while working as a local promoter.

After gaining attention in 1991, the electronic dance group rose to fame with hits like Charly, Everybody In the Place, Firestarter, and Breathe, establishing themselves as a dominant force in the 1990s.

The band went on to achieve seven number one albums and received two BRIT Awards. Ziggy’s passing comes as fans continue to mourn the loss of Keith Flint, a founding member who died in 2019 at the age of 49.

Remaining members Liam Howlett and Maxim are set to headline four major outdoor concerts this summer, following a successful 12-date arena tour across the UK and Ireland in April and May.

In a recent interview with NME, Howlett discussed their upcoming shows and teased new music for the year. He emphasized that Flint’s influence will always be a core part of The Prodigy’s sound, with the new material embodying an “evil rave” vibe.

The forthcoming music will mark the band’s first release since 2018’s No Tourists, with work on a new album already underway before Flint’s passing. Howlett reiterated that Flint’s spirit continues to inspire their creative process and remains an integral part of their musical identity.
