Faithless — known for hits Insomnia and We Come 1 — announces the death of 'a lovely human being with time for everyone and wisdom that was both profound and accessible'.
abc.net.au/news/faithless-singer-maxi-jazz-dies/101808066Maxi Jazz, the DJ and singer who fronted the eclectic British dance band Faithless, has died aged 65.
Faithless — known for hits Insomnia and We Come 1 — announced his death on social media on Saturday , saying he "died peacefully in his sleep last night"."He gave proper meaning and a message to our music. He was a lovely human being with time for everyone and wisdom that was both profound and accessible."Born Maxwell Fraser in London, Maxi Jazz emerged in the British club scene in the 1980s as a DJ on pirate radio and founder of the Soul Food Cafe System.
He later formed Faithless along with producer-instrumentalist-DJ Rollo Armstrong, keyboardist-DJ Sister Bliss and singer-songwriter Jamie Cotto. They drew upon such a wide range of influences that their record company described their debut album Reverence, released in 1996, as "folk-house-hip-hop-blues-ambience-jazz-rap for the dance floor and sofa".The band went on to global popularity through its dynamic stage performances and albums including Outrospective and the greatest hits collection Forever Faithless.
Faithless broke up in 2011, but reunited recently, without Jazz, who had since formed Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys.
