“He was a brilliant lyricist, a DJ, a Buddhist, a magnificent stage presence, car lover, endless talker, beautiful person, moral compass and genius.” Faithless have announced that founding member, Maxi Jazz, has passed away peacefully in his home in South London on December 23, 2022. Real name Maxwell Frazer, he was responsible for the vocals on the band’s hits ‘Insomnia’ and ‘God is a DJ’, making him one of the most iconic voices in dance music. Rollo and Sister Bliss also mention how Jazz “gave proper meaning and message to our music.” In 2015, Jazz split from the group to front the Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys outfit as a singer and guitarist. Rest in peace, Maxi Jazz. More on the news via our linkinbio.
