Rick Buckler, former drummer of rock band The Jam, has died. He was 69. The musician died Monday in Woking (a town in Surrey, England) with family by his side after battling a short illness, according to a statement from his management team.

A member of a legendary rock band is dead at age 69. The Jam drummer Rick Buckler died in Woking, Surrey, according to the English group’s singer Paul Weller. A cause of death was not announced, but Buckler canceled his spoken word tour earlier this month due to “ongoing health issues.”

And maybe he wasn’t a household name, but when news of his death broke Tuesday it certainly seemed like enough folks appreciated his body of work. His wife, Lisa Burns-Maida, said that the bassist died Saturday in New York from complications following a fall back in December.
