Rick Huxley was born on February 24, 1940, in Dartford, Kent, England. His parents were both musicians, and his father was also a bandleader. Huxley began playing the drums at an early age and soon developed a passion for music. He attended the prestigious Dartford Grammar School, where he excelled in both academics and music. After graduation, he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Huxley’s professional career began in the early 1960s, when he joined the Dave Clark Five. The band quickly rose to fame, thanks to their energetic live performances and catchy pop songs. The group became one of the most popular bands of the 1960s, selling over 100 million records worldwide. Huxley’s drumming style was a key component of the band’s sound, and he quickly became one of the most popular drummers in the world.

The Dave Clark Five disbanded in 1970, and Huxley went on to pursue a solo career. He released several albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, but none of them achieved the same level of success as his work with the Dave Clark Five. In recent years, Huxley has toured with a reunited version of the band. He currently resides in London with his wife and two children.

Huxley has an estimated net worth of $5 million. He has earned most of his wealth from his successful career as a drummer and musician.
