The group announced the sad news via Twitter and Facebook. Maxi Jazz was 65 years old.
“We are heartbroken to learn that Maxi Jazz passed away last night. He was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave proper meaning and message to our music.
He was also a lovely human being who had time for everyone and wisdom that was both deep and accessible. It was an honor and, of course, a real pleasure to work with him.
He was a brilliant lyricist, a DJ, a Buddhist, a magnificent stage presence, a car lover, an endless talker, a beautiful person, a moral compass and a genius.
