Very sad news if true.... on 19:10 - Feb 18 with 2015 viewsBloots ....haven't seen it confirmed anywhere yet, but these rumours tend to be correct. Shocker. He was the most relatable of them, always seemed a decent, genuine bloke. FFS. "He's been a really positive influence on my life, I think he's a great man" - TWTD User (May 2025)
Very bad news TW4TDERS on 19:13 - Feb 18 with 1995 viewsgainsboroughblue I saw something on FB which suggested it. His wikipedia page keeps going from referring to him in past and present tense. I don't get the greatest of vibes about this but Rick Buckler does seem an odd target for a hoax death report. Very sad if indeed true. Here's hoping it isn't.

Mate of mine just text me so I googled it and got the dreaded “Rick Buckler was a drummer….” I had a chat with him in The Railway on Foxhall Rd. I asked him to tell Paul Weller he’s a c’nt if he saw him. He replied “I don’t think I need to”

It's back to 'is' again now. I keep refreshing for a reliable source.

....one of the best British bands ever. I also love the Style Council. I've "met" Weller twice and both times he's been an absolute pr1ck. "He's been a really positive influence on my life, I think he's a great man" - TWTD User (May 2025)

Nothing confirmed anywhere other than he's postponed his spoken word tour. Hope this is just a misheard rumour that's got out of hand. Be gutted if it's true. Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

I’ve never met Weller and I wouldn’t want to be in the same room as him. He broke my band baby. Gotta say that Foxton and Hastings haven’t covered themselves in glory either. RIP Sheerwater Rick.

....one of the times I bumped into him was when I was in Soho on the way to see "From The Jam". He told me "They are a pair of tw@ts, and you're a tw@t for paying to see them". I told him he was a miserable tw@t. "He's been a really positive influence on my life, I think he's a great man" - TWTD User (May 2025)

They can all screw themselves baby. Steve Brookes is the only one who can keep his head high. Massive respect in fact, you simply never hear from him.
Very bad news TW4TDERS on 21:04 - Feb 18 with 1314 viewsDJR That's very sad. The Jam were an important part of my late teens and early twenties, although I went off them a bit with Sound Effects. I saw them in 1978, 1980 and 1982 (at one of their farewell concerts at Wembley Arena). [Post edited 18 Feb 21:05]

Very bad news TW4TDERS on 04:05 - Feb 19 with 924 viewsBenters Sad to see this. Although in my teens I absolutely hated Paul Weller,as I was always a Ozzy,Lemmy and Bon Scott sort of chap. But as I’ve gotten older my musical taste has changed and now if it’s nice I listen to it and like it whoever’s band it is. But I still don’t like Paul Weller.
