Jazz’s battle with Insomnia:
While saying about the song Insomnia, jazz said,
“The lyrics are from personal experience. I didn’t suffer from insomnia, but I’d just had an abscess on my tooth. It was so painful it would keep me awake.”
While explaining his illness, his personal doctor stated, “The singer is actually only thirty, but Dr. Howard Lang of the London Sleep Clinic says he looks “fucking knackered” due to a serious lack of sleep.”
After Faithless published that catchy song, Insomnia, Lang told us that the man sought assistance. He basically said that the songs accurately described his circumstances and that he required professional assistance.
We advised yoga, meditation, Nytol, ketamine, whale noises, weed, and even the music of Coldplay; but nothing helped the poor guy.”, the doctor added.
After catching his first forty winks in twenty years, Wunderground was able to catch up with a very energetic Maxi Jazz.
“I feel unbelievable today,” proclaimed Maxi. He also added that “I got a solid nine hours last night, it was sensational. I finally managed to have that wonderful dream about making mad love on the heath, and tearin’ off tights with my teeth.”
Maxi said, “Coldplay,” when Wunderground inquired how he had finally managed to fall asleep after such a long time.
“Someone put their album on in the studio and initially I thought I was dying a painful death – but then realized I was genuinely getting tired, Before you know it, I was sleeping like a log. I have gone and bought their full back catalog which should help me sleep for years and years.”
Maxi’s DVT diagnosis:
In 2019, he disclosed that he was recovering from DVT. When a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more deep veins in the body, generally in the legs, this condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
He shared about his DVT diagnosis on his Facebook page and he shared that he was recovering from the illness.
“Following the news in April regarding Maxi’s DVT recovery he would like to thank you all for the overwhelming love and support shown from across the world.
While Maxi continues to recover, his doctors have advised he takes a little more time off and additionally aren’t allowing him to fly for a few more weeks meaning we, unfortunately, have to cancel the upcoming shows between now and the middle of August.
Although this is disappointing news for everyone including Maxi, his health is paramount and we have to follow the doctor’s advice.
Maxi sends his apologies and he can’t wait to finally get back on stage. He recently bought a drum kit to pass the time while recovering at home therefore his neighbors are also very keen for him to get back to work as soon as possible!”

So sad to learn Maxi Jazz has passed away. Faithless was an iconic force in UK dance music from the mid-’90s and touched so many lives. Throughout their meteoric rise to fame, Maxi remained a warm, cool, friendly soul-dance music poet- thoughts with his family and friends RIP.
