Heute haben sie es auf ihrer Homepage bekannt gegeben. Maxi Jazz, Rollo und Sister Bliss machen Schluß und somit löst sich die Kult-Band „Faithless“ auf… wie schade!

Nach sechs Alben und 15 extrem erfolgreichen Jahren, wollen alle drei Mitlgieder neue Wege gehen.

Mit Hits wie zum Beispiel „God Is A DJ“ oder „Insomnia“ hat es die UK-Band geschafft, außerhalb der Trance-Trip Hop-Dance-Szene berühmt und verehrt zu werden.

Frontmann Maxi Jazz veröffentlichte auf der Website folgendes Statement zur Trennung:

„After 15 years(!) and six albums(!!) I think we’ve probably made our collective point by now and that it’s time to close the book and return to the library…

We’ve had, with you, the most unbelievable, epic and moving experience, stretching over years and tens of thousands of miles… joyful, exhilarating and empowering, we never for a moment thought an affair could last this long. Or be this powerful. Never thought for a moment that the end of this journey would be left to us either…

Quite naturally people grow, change and leave the things of youth behind them. You’ve not only brought us with you, but introduced us to y’children too! What’re you like..?

The album ‚The Dance Never Ends‚ was written and produced for you, as a thank you, but also as a goodbye.. the tour schedule has been particularly hectic as we attempt to visit as many territories as there are people who wanna see us.. And say thank you.

If I devoted the rest of my life to the task, I could NEVER thank you enough. I have memories that will still be with me in my next life. But, like when writing a song, you always just ‚know‘ when it’s finished… this is and was the „Thank YOU And Goodbye‘ tour and to be truthful, I really hope you just pick up the ball of your life.. And RUN WITH IT!!

„Once again, whether you bought or downloaded a cd, came to a show or told your mates about us… Whether from the beginning or just last week.. Thank you. You’ll be in my heart forever. Listen for my voice in future lifetimes, I only grow in your shadow, you’re the sun to me. One Love. Maxi“

Einmal muss es noch gesagt werden…. SCHADE!
