Mick Tucker was born at the Central Middlesex Hospital, Acton Lane, Harlesden, North West London. He died 14 February 2002 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire from leukemia, aged 54. The funeral took place 25 February 2002; He is buried in an unnamed grave in Chorleywood House cemetery. It is marked by a sleeping angel. A wooden bench with a brass plaque funded by fans as a dedication to Tucker is also positioned in the grave's vicinity. He left behind a widow, Jan, and a daughter Ayston from his first marriage to Pauline (who died 1979). Sweet bass player Steve Priest said about Tucker: "He was the most underrated drummer that ever came out of England. He was the powerhouse of the band. He was technically marvelous. His timing was impeccable, but he had a lot of soul as well and he really felt what he was playing."
