Rick Buckler the Drummer of The Jam Has Passed Away at 69
Rick Buckler, the drummer for the influential British band The Jam, has passed away at the age of 69 after a brief illness. He died peacefully on February 17, 2025, in his hometown of Woking, Surrey, surrounded by family.
Born on December 6, 1955, in Woking, Buckler co-founded The Jam in the early 1970s alongside Paul Weller and Bruce Foxton.
The band gained prominence with hits like “Town Called Malice” and “Going Underground,” becoming a leading force in the UK’s mod revival movement. They achieved 18 consecutive UK top 40 singles and released six studio albums before disbanding in 1982.
Following The Jam’s split, Buckler engaged in various musical projects, including forming the band Time UK and later joining From The Jam, a tribute act with former bandmate Bruce Foxton.
He also explored careers outside of music, such as furniture design, and authored several books about his experiences with The Jam.
