The band had been due to tour the US and had also been booked to play at Glastonbury in June - a gig revealed by the festival's organiser, Emily Eavis, as she paid tribute to the star.
Flint, 49, was found at his home in Essex on Monday morning. In a message posted on The Prodigy's Instagram page, bandmate Liam Howlett said he had "taken his own life".
A statement posted on the band's website also said his death was suicide, although this is yet to be confirmed by police.
The gig cancellations came as PiL and former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon paid tribute to Flint and spoke out to anyone in need of help.
"My heart is broken for him," Lydon told TMZ. "He was a good friend of mine.
"But nobody loved him and he was left alone and he got destroyed. Why? Why do so many people in this industry be left alone?"
He continued: "What you've got to understand is, we're not looking after each other anymore. And we should...
"Any of you out there that need help, come talk to me. All right? Come talk to me. We do not need to die."
The Prodigy had been touring following the release of their seventh album No Tourists, which topped the charts in November.
Flint's last gig with the band was in New Zealand on 5 February.
Musicians and fans have posted thousands of tributes to the star following his death, with many tales showing the softer side to the wild frontman who appeared on stage and in Prodigy videos.
As well as messages posted by contemporaries such as The Chemical Brothers and DJs including Pete Tong, there were more unexpected tributes from the likes of James Blunt and Brian May.
The Prodigy paid tribute to their "brother and best friend", describing Flint as "a true pioneer, innovator and legend" who "will be forever missed".
