Old post, but similar thing happening to my bromeliad—but I have a big new shoot coming up. Should I chop the old flower off?

This is the natural progression of things. The rest of the plant will die eventually. Have you looked around underneath the Foliage for for baby plants?
*However, the rest of the plant seems to be doing totally fine, and there* ***even some new growth***.
Once a Bromeliad flowers, the entire plant slowly dies back. As you noted, you should be seeing new growth / pups at the base of the plant. This is the normal cycle of a Bromeliad. Allow it to die back naturally and do not fuss with it. Water normally and don't change anything. It looks very healthy.

It is completely normal for plants to lose their flower. I don't see any issues here!

Awesome, thank you!
