A difficult one to take this. Can't imagine how his family and friends are feeling. R.I.P. Rick.

Rick Buckler was a brilliant drummer. Literally, 'a driving force'. Thanks for the beats and the memories Rick. #RickBuckler

Saturday’s kids live in council houses. Wear v-necked shirts and baggy trousers.

Middle aged men are weird. We grew up in strange times. Late 70s and early 80s were tough. Bullied by pupils and teachers we clung to hope and music. Then we had lives and now we cling to and yearn for those mad, dangerous, often frightening days. Be gentle with us today. This hurts #RickBuckler
