Rest in peace. He was a beacon of sincerity and joy in our sometimes too cynical world.

A too young age to go. I hope he didn't suffer much at the end, and if he did, I hope he managed to cope.

Absolute bummer.

For anyone unfamiliar, Faithless was a huge group in the electronica scene in the 90s and early 2000s. Some well known hits include "God is a DJ", "Insomnia", and "We Come 1". If you're young and don't know them, check them out. For us older folks, lots of early morning memories of better times. :)

I can’t stop listening to his music ever since I heard Insomnia for the first time.

Rest in peace. You made a difference and left a mark in millions.

RIP. He was a great DJ.

For reference, probably his most popular song: Insomnia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8JEm4d6Wu4

Sad news, they were the first band I went to see live and a big gateway into electronic music for me as youngster. Their tracks have stood the test of time and he’ll be remembered fondly, he came across as a great guy in addition to a great lyricist and vocalist.
