Jacoby Shaddix, the lead vocalist, and Dave Buckner, the drummer, created the rock band Papa Roach in January 1993. Bassist Will James, guitarist Jerry Horton, and trombonist Ben Luther joined them later. The band released EPs and played in a variety of places throughout the first several years.

In 1997, the rock band released their debut studio album, Old Friends from Young Years. Audiences and critics alike praised the CD. They followed it up with the EP 5 Tracks Deep, and have since gone on to release a number of studio albums. While Dave left the band in 2007, the following are some of the albums he was a part of, along with their prices:

Albums Prices
Love hate tragedy $5.99 (MP3)
Getting Away With Murder $7.99 (MP3)

All of these albums are available for purchase on Amazon. Dave has been a member of a number of other bands, including The Halo Method, and continues to make music even though he no longer performs.

Dave Buckner’s net worth must have been greatly influenced by his earnings as a founding member of the famous rock band. In addition, he must have made a tidy profit from his countless tours and appearances with other bands. Jacoby Shaddix, the lead vocalist of Papa Roach, is reported to have a net worth of $12 million.

Family And Early Years

Dave Buckner was born David John Louis Buckner on May 29, 1976, in Vacaville, California. After accompanying his mother to a Buddhist festival in the Santa Cruz highlands as a child, he grew interested in Buddhism and spirituality. During the festival, he met the Dalai Lama, a spiritual leader, and he began to include meditation into his daily routines.

Vacaville High School is when the brilliant drummer met his future bandmate Jacoby Shaddix. In January 1993, the two men met on their school’s football field and established their band.

Substance Abuse And Sobriety

Dave Buckner, like many other rock stars in the music industry, struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. Before he became one of them, he grew up surrounded by music and idolized numerous struggling artists. He admitted that he felt that substance addiction was encouraged rather than discouraged at the time.

Buckner’s struggles with substance misuse landed him in a life-or-death predicament, according to his wiki. He was knee-deep in addiction throughout his time with the band Papa Roach, and despite his best efforts to stay sober, he kept relapsing. He then left the band and used his personal time to think on his life and work on making it better.

Dave is now living a sober life, years after his first attempt at sobriety. He was in his second year of recovery, according to an interview from 2018. Dave Buckner has clearly cleaned up his act and now lives a happy life, after going through difficult situations for many years.

Relationships And Marriage

Dave Buckner became well-known for his relationship with actress Mia Tyler, in addition to his work as a drummer. For three years, he was married to the daughter of Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler. On October 26, 2002, they married on stage during an Aerosmith concert. Their marriage, however, did not end happily, and the former couple divorced in 2005.

Dave Buckner is currently in a relationship with Stacey Tickner, his partner/girlfriend. It’s unknown whether they’re married or not, but they share two sons. The family has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, but they did make a cameo in Lukas Rossi’s music video for Summertime. The film included Dave, Stacey, and their boys, Bonham Buckner and Andrew Buckner, who provided a snapshot of their lives.

Dave Buckner and his girlfriend Stacey Tickner have both made their Instagram accounts private, and they are rarely seen together. We wish the couple every happiness with their children and hope to learn more about them in the coming days.
