Rest in Power Maxi Jazz!" We are heartbroken to share that Maxi died peacefully in his sleep last night. The official Twitter account of the club described Jazz as a "legendary musician" and said the team would walk out to a Faithless track on Boxing Day in tribute.

Born in Brixton, Jazz also fronted a band of musicians named Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys and released music with the group Soul Food Cafe.

In the wake of the devastating news of Maxi Jazz's death, we pay tribute to him by reviewing the success of Faithless and recalling his greatest hits.

Released as a single two weeks before the release of ‘Outrospective’, the single shone in the charts, being one of the best performing tracks in the Faithless charts ever. This single is a strong statement against misinformation, abuse of power and unbridled greed that ends up killing as many as weapons of war. This track is also part of the band’s debut album but is in every way quite different to the ones mentioned above. ‘Insomnia’ is the second single to be released by Faithless and reached #27 on the UK Dance Single Chart when it was released in 1995. Released in 1998, the single reached #6 in the UK and topped the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Party Chart. ‘Insomnia’ would forever place the Faithless name in music history and would itself embody a shift in the musical paradigm. This is the first single produced by the Faithless trio and dates back to 1995. This was the band’s third single to be released and like its predecessors it did very well in the UK Single Chart, reaching number 34. In the late 90s, music lovers needed to see themselves represented, to see political and social causes expressed loudly, and this was also offered by Faithless. Its dark and chilling soundscape is one of the charms that make this single one of Faithless’ favourite hits. This is undoubtedly Faithless’ greatest hit, the track that everyone associates with the band, the track that thanks to the magnificence of its nature endures over time without losing a hint of its relevance. In stark contrast to the more superficial dance music that dominated dance floors, Faithless’ music had a message to convey, a strong message that came through the voice of the talented Maxi Jazz.

Maxi Jazz, the British musician best known as the lead vocalist for dance group Faithless, has died, according to the band.
