The band split in 1982 and never fully reunited, but Foxton and Buckler subsequently played together on a number of occasions as From The Jam while Weller continued his career with the Style Council and as a solo artist.
Buckler was part of the band’s classic lineup alongside bass player Bruce Foxton and lead singer and guitarist Paul Weller in the punk and new wave era of the late 1970s.
In a statement, his family said Buckley “passed away peacefully on Monday evening in Woking after a short illness with family by his side”, the BBC reported.
The Jam achieved four UK number one singles and one UK number one album.
Rick Buckler, the drummer of the rock group The Jam, has died aged 69 after a short illness.
