The Prodigy don't care about success

THE PRODIGY have revealed that they don't care about being successful.

The 'Firestarter' hitmakers said they don't care about awards or record sales as making the fans happy with their music and live shows is more important.

Frontman Keith Flint said: "I think what's more important to The Prodigy is that, whatever number your album goes in at, or the single, or however many plays it gets, or doesn't get, or awards you get, or don't get; our reward, as a band, is to write the best album we can and then go to Download festival and rip it to pieces."

Bandmate Liam Howlett recently slammed the Barclaycard Mercury Prize for ignoring fans' wishes.

He said: "It's got nothing to do with the public. to do with a panel of people that always opt for the most obscure thing.

"I think we should have been nominated this year. We never mull it over in our minds.

"I think rock and dance should be better represented. Why not? Why shouldn't it be? Because that's the type of music that stirs up the emotion. It's what kids listen to."
