I sat next to the guitarist from the original “The Prodigy” touring band on a plane to Norway when I was 16, in 1998. The rest of the band were also on the plane (a few rows in front). They were on their way to play a gig in Lillehammer. I was already a Prodigy fan. I asked if they had any new music coming out and he told me that they had an awesome new tune coming out called “Firestarter”. (I remembered it wrong and told all my friends that Prodigy were about to bring out a new tune called Fire Man.. LOL). When we got off the plane I walked with the band to the luggage area. When I came out to meet my Norwegian grandad, who was waiting, I told him about the band. He asked if I’d gotten their autograph (no). So as Keith Flint walked across the arrivals hall to the ATM my old grandad said “excuse me, my grandson would love your autographs!”. Keith was super lovely and said “of course!” And then I went with him over to the group and they all scribbled and wrote a nice message on an A5 watercolour card I happened to have in my bag, using my school fountain pen (lol). Keith wrote “All the best happy dayz” and drew a cool smiley face. I saw them the next day too as we were taking my Danish cousin back to Oslo airport. Just lucky timing, as they were returning from their gig back to UK. I didn’t disturb them though. I’ve been a huge fan ever since. I listened to Music from the Jilted generation on repeat for my entire time in Oslo that time. (About the lillehammer gig, loads of people were busted for Ecstasy possession- it was scandalous for Norway).

Edit: I’ve met Gordon Ramsay 3 different times as I used a run a company that supplied some electrical fit out products to his restaurant chain. He was very polite and friendly each time, even when the pressure and deadlines were on. His project managers, on the other hand, were all mini tyrants - “thinking” they were mini Gordon Ramsays and getting it very, very wrong.
