I posted this on the main board but think it is relevant for here too as they are such a great Glastonbury band.  I am gutted I won't get to see them at Worthy Farm again they have given me some of the best gigs I have ever been to

"A statement from Maxi

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"

Great band, given me many fantastic memories.

I shall be seeing them for the last time in Brixton in a few weeks.

That is sad to hear-but they can't go on and on I guess and best to end on a high and you never know-they may reform

[Gnomicide]

I don't think I'll ever understand the attraction.

Bye bye. You'll be missed by many but not me.

[LondonTom]

Were they ever in contention for this year?

I am glad I finally got to see them last year then! Still I missed LCD and I won't get to see them, swings and roundabouts, its a shame but give it few years I am sure they make reunion show:P

doesn't look like there's any bad blood... i'd put money on a reformation within 10/15 years. even if there was bad blood i'd put money on it!

Maxi Jazz is 53.... That seems unlikely!

They'll be back one day. Last year that was epic business with the sun going down on the last night I'm sure it was all synced with "we come one" I remember been on a downer with it been the last night an all that, Then the world been a good place again. Atmospherically amazing

[Vieuphoria]

That's such a shame

[Ed209]

One of Glastonbury's finest moments



Thanks for the good times, Faithless. Respect

[MilkyJoe]

A shame but also good in a way. Last year was pretty special, Maxi standing on stage and just looking out into the crowd speechless. Awesome.

Meh

[Madyokel]

And the Ironic thing is Noodle and I stayed up late last night watching their set from last year..
Oh for one last blast..

[sanyo]

Have never been a massive fan of their albums but i turned up early for the headliners in 2002 (cant remember who now?? sign of getting older i suppose) and caught the last 4 songs of their set and it was such a great vibe on the pyramid field, probably the best half a gig i've ever seen.

With that said damn lucky I saw them last year especially as it looked like he had a tear in his eye at the end.
