Jon Moss (born Jonathan Aubrey Moss, 11 September 1957, in Wandsworth, London, England) is the former drummer of the bands Culture Club, London, Adam and the Ants, and The Damned. He is also an ex-partner of Culture Club's lead singer Boy George. Their turbulent relationship apparently fueled much of Culture Club's success. Although Moss did not acknowledge the relationship with Boy George during the height of Culture Club's success in the 1980's, he did talk openly of the sexual relationship with George and his love for George during a brief Culture Club reunion in the 1990's. Jon is now in a heterosexual marriage.

Moss is currently a member of the bands Fassbender and Dirth.

In July 2005, Moss played drums on the charity single, "People I Don't Know Are Trying to Kill Me", written by journalist, Neil McCormick, to help the families of the victims of the terrorist bombings in London.[1]

In June 2006, Moss was rumored to be taking part in a reformation of Culture Club with another vocalist, after Boy George declined to take part. As of November 2006, it is reported that Moss, along with bassist Mikey Craig and keyboard player Phil Pickett, will be back on the road later this year as Culture Club Reborn.
