The Brixton-born singer and DJ was also mourned by Reggae band UB40, who went on tour with the musician back in 2017.

"A lovely guy, again who has gone too soon, but finally Maxi you can get some sleep."

Another former bandmate said his farewell on Jazz's Instagram account.

"He [Maxi Jazz] was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave proper meaning and message to our music," he said, adding that, "He was also a lovely human being with time for everyone and a wisdom that was both profound and accessible. It was an honour and, of course, a true pleasure to work with him."

"He was a brilliant lyricist, a DJ, a Buddhist, a magnificent stage presence, car lover, endless talker, beautiful person, moral compass and genius."

Jazz was also the lead singer in other music groups called Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys, also releasing music with Soul Food Cafe band.

Faithless rose to become an "iconic force in UK dance music from the mid 90s and touched so many lives," said DJ David Pearce, noting that Maxi Jazz was "dance music's poet" and a "warm, cool, friendly soul."
