According to a band Facebook post, Maurmann had waited 114 days in the hospital for a new heart. At the end of this 114th day, “the wait had an abrupt end,” write his bandmates Motte, Dani, Roger, Marc, Lukas and Pepi. The SRF previously reported on Wednesday evening that the musician had died on January 19.

In his post, Maurmann described his bandmates as someone who could wait: “He was a professional in this discipline.” And so he had waited “with calm size, humor and decency” in the hospital. During this time, the band colleagues “warmed up old stories, cackled a lot and made plans for the time after the operation,” they write.

Many years of music career
Maurmann, who was born in Constance in 1967, made a name for himself in the music scene back in the 1980s. He then started all over Switzerland and beyond national borders with the band Die Aeronauten in the 1990s, but never landed at the top of the charts.

Maurmann was broadly positioned musically with the aeronauts and under his solo pseudonym Guz. His music moved in genres like soul, funk, jazz, country, ska, also trash and garage punk. He sang his songs in dialect, in German or French.

Last album was released in 2015
With the aeronauts, Maurmann released the first album “Gegen Alles” in 1995 and two years later followed “Jetzt Musik”. This album was released by the renowned Hamburg label L’Age d’Or. The last aeronaut album “Heinz” was released in 2015.

In 1992 Maurmann set up his own studio in Schaffhausen. After the turn of the millennium, his album “We Do Like You” was created there. He always positioned himself away from the mainstream. He also gained fame as a grouchy garbage inspector in the SRF series “Güsel”.
