He spent much of his early life living with his maternal grandmother, Stella Class, in South London. Jones’ cousin is Grant Shapps, the Conservative MP for Welwyn Hatfield. Jones went to Strand School in South London and West London School of Art And Design, because “[he] thought that’s how you get into bands and stuff”.

Jones has also been an occasional producer. In 1981 he produced Ellen Foley’s second album Spirit of St. Louis. Jones was in a relationship with Foley, and co-wrote songs for the album with Strummer and Tymon Dogg. Players on the album included members of the Blockheads, Tymon Dogg and all four members of the Clash.

When he was 21, he and Paul Simonon were introduced to Joe Strummer by Bernie Rhodes in a squat in Shepherd’s Bush. The band rehearsed in a former railway warehouse in Camden Town and The Clash was formed. Jones played lead guitar, sang, and co-wrote songs from the band’s inception until he was fired by Strummer and Simonon in 1983. One of the songs he wrote, “Train in Vain,” was allegedly about Jones’ relationship with Viv Albertine, guitarist of The Slits. Jones’ lack of punctuality played a major role in his dismissal from the band. Jones agreed to give a rare interview about the disintegration of The Clash and the reasons behind his dismissal from ‘his own band’ in Danny Garcia’s 2012 documentary film and book The Rise and Fall of the Clash.
