Buckler and Foxton later played together in a successor band, From the Jam, while Weller continued his career with the Style Council and as a solo artist. Buckler had recently been forced to cancel a spoken word tour of UK venues because of health problems. “I’m shocked and saddened by Rick’s passing,” Weller said on X. “I’m thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey!” Bruce Foxton said: “I was shocked and devastated to hear the very sad news today. Rick was a good guy and a great drummer whose innovative drum patterns helped shape our songs. “I’m glad we had the chance to work together as much as we did. My thoughts are with Leslie and his family at this very difficult time.” The cause of Buckler’s death has not yet been confirmed.
