Keith was originally a dancer for The Prodigy but stepped into the spotlight when he took lead vocals on their 1996 number one single 'Firestarter' and chart-topping follow-up 'Breathe'.
The dance group - which also includes Liam Howlett and Maxim Reality and previously included Leeroy Thornhill, who departed in 2000 - had six number one albums, including 'No Tourists', which was released just five months ago.
In January, it was announced the 'Out of Space' hitmakers would be headlining London's SW4 festival, which takes place on Clapham Common on August 24 and 25.
In recent years, Keith has enjoyed success as the owner and manager of motorcycle racing team Team Traction Control.
Keith's bandmates have yet to comment on his passing.
