16 years ago, I was given one job … ‘Get Pele to wear a Leeds scarf’. He very graciously did, telling me ‘I will not be popular in Manchester’, with a knowing glint in his eye. An absolute legend. #RIPPele (pic by @TonyJohnsonYPN I believe).
Maxi Jazz R.I.P
A poet, a gentleman and a true original who together with @faithless made a handful of tunes that define both club culture and a generation. In a hundred years time if someone asks what all the fuss was about in 1996, just play them Insomnia, job done…
We are heartbroken to say Maxi Jazz died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave proper meaning and a message to our music. He was a lovely human being with time for everyone and wisdom that was both profound and accessible.
After Bill Shankly walked into the #lufc Dressing Room at Anfield after we won the English League title, Liverpool captain Ron Yeats walks in with a bottle of champagne & tea cups to serve it, lovely man is big Ron 👌
