Maxi Priest - 2 The Max

THE UK'S BIGGEST REGGAE STAR
NEW ALBUM '2 THE MAX'
9th MAY ON RELENTLESS RECORDS

Maxi is not a man who fears baring his soul. But he wasn't entirely ready to be stripped bare in the dramatic fashion that he was one day last year. We're not talking about his no-holds-barred, give-it-all-you-got singing - what one song from his new album calls "Full 100". This time, it was a life-changing event - and not one he'd necessarily like to repeat.

"An amazing experience," Maxi confirms. "I thought I had a chest cold, which I can be prone to because as a vocalist your lungs are always open to all kinds of infections. I went to hospital to be tested and everyone was suddenly rushing about. One of the doctors told me, 'I think you've had a heart attack'. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then 10 people came charging into the room and started stripping me of everything I had."

Maxi was lying in hospital having suffered what he calls "somewhat of a heart attack". He also had a blood clot on his lung. His life hung by a thread. It may not have been a pleasant experience, but it was certainly an eye opener. Denuded of everything but his dignity and sense of humour, Maxi found himself purely in the hands of his own body's powers of recovery and the skill of the medical team around him. It's a state of total powerlessness, and being stripped to the bare essentials like that gives you pause for thought.
