| Born in Anaheim, California,[1] Buckley was the only son of Mary Guibert and Tim Buckley. Buckley was raised by his mother and stepfather as his father had left his mother during her pregnancy, His biological father, Tim Buckley, was a singer-songwriter who released a series of highly acclaimed folk and jazz albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s. However, Buckley said he only met him once at the age of eight years old.[14] After his father died of a drug overdose in 1975,[15] he chose to go by Buckley and his real first name which he found on his birth certificate. Buckley was brought up around music. His mother was a classically trained pianist and cellist.[18] Buckley began playing guitar at the age of five after discovering an acoustic guitar in his grandmother's closet.[22] At the age of 12, he decided to become a musician,[23] and received his first electric guitar at the age of 13.[25] Aged 30, Buckley went swimming in Wolf River Harbor,[107] a slackwater channel of the Mississippi River, while wearing boots, all of his clothing, and singing the chorus of the song "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin.[108]. Despite a determined rescue effort that night, Buckley remained missing. On June 4, his body was spotted by a tourist on a riverboat and was brought ashore.[108] The autopsy to clarify the cause of Buckley's death confirmed Buckley had taken no illegal drugs before his swim and a drug overdose was therefore ruled out as cause of death.
