Maxi Jazz, the lead singer of electronic band Faithless, has died aged 65. Faithless bandmate Sister Bliss said the rapper and singer-songwriter died "peacefully in his sleep" in his south-London home on Friday night.

A statement shared on the musician's Instagram from his Faithless and E-Type Boys bandmates said: "We are heartbroken to say Maxi Jazz died peacefully at his home in South London last night."

They said: "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 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."
