Terry Chimes

He was nominated as a Scouting in London Ambassador for the Scout Association Region for Greater London at an Adult Appreciation ceremony in 2008.

In 2003, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Clash. At the induction ceremony, he gave an acceptance speech praising Topper Headon's work.

Chimes is a practising Catholic. Since 1994, he has worked as a chiropractor in Essex at his clinic, Chimes Chiropractic. He also runs chiropractic seminars.

In 1982, Headon was forced out of the band for his drug addiction, and Chimes was asked to rejoin. He participated in The Casbah Club tours for both the US and the UK, a brief tour supporting The Who, and the following Combat Rock tour back in the USA. He was also featured in the music video for the single, "Rock the Casbah." After the Jamaican World Music Festival of 1982, he left for the third and final time.

After leaving The Clash, Chimes drummed in bands including Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers briefly in 1977 and 1984, Cowboys International in 1979, Gen X from 1980 to 1981, Hanoi Rocks in 1985, The Cherry Bombz in 1986 (with ex Hanoi Rocks members Andy McCoy and Nasty Suicide and ex Sham 69/Wanderers/The Lords of the New Church Dave Tregunna) and Black Sabbath on their Eternal Idol Tour in 1987–88. He also played drums with Billy Idol for a period of time.
