"It has been a tough time for everyone over the last few weeks since Keef's passing," reads an Instagram post from the English group. "If you are struggling with depression, addiction or the impact of suicide, please do not suffer in silence."

"The Prodigy fully support the campaign to improve mental health for all and give it the respect it deserves," the statement continues, along with links to mental health resources in the U.K.

Flint died this past March at age 49. His death was ruled a suicide.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. In the U.S., the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255.
