Nicholas "Nick" Jago (born 19 July 1976)[1] is an English musician, best known as the former drummer and founding member of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.[2]
Jago was born in Abadan, Iran to an English father and Peruvian mother and grew up in Devon, England. He attended St Cuthbert Mayne School in Torquay and went on to study at Winchester School of Art for a couple of years before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States. He now lives in Los Angeles.
Jago was removed from the stage at the 2003 NME Awards during a rather extensive moment of silence on his part while accepting the "Best Video" award for BRMC's "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n' Roll (Punk Song)".[3] After leaving the group for a period of time, Jago and the band went on to release the album Baby 81 in May 2007.
In June 2008, Jago released a bulletin on MySpace stating that he was leaving the band in order to focus on a solo career. No solo material was ever released, with social media accounts stating that he is now involved in Soka Gakkai International.[4]
