Longtime friend and collaborator Jeff Beck of Johnny Depp passed away.
A source claims that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 59, “was by Jeff’s bedside” with “many other rock stars” before Beck’s death. The English guitarist passed away on Tuesday at the age of 78.
They were pretty close, and their bond deepened over their summertime joint tour, the informant claimed. The illness came on rapidly, and during the past few weeks, everything quickly deteriorated.
“Johnny is still analysing this data. According to “the source,” he is upset.
On July 15 of the previous year, Depp and Beck released their album, titled 18.
The album’s lead song, “This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr,” also has an official music video that was published by the band.
The Sweeney Todd actor remarked in a press release at the time, “It’s an unbelievable joy to play and make music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother.
“I haven’t had another creative partner like Johnny in ages,” Beck remarked of Depp at the time. He had a significant impact on this album, Since some people find it difficult to believe Johnny Depp can sing rock and roll, I just hope people respect him as a musician.
Beck’s death was confirmed by his family in a statement posted on Wednesday.
The opening line of the statement said, “On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound regret that we deliver the news of Jeff Beck’s Passing.” “He developed bacterial meningitis suddenly, and yesterday he quietly passed away. His family requests privacy as they grieve this terrible loss.
From his work as lead guitarist on Mick Jagger’s debut album She’s the Boss to the title track on Ozzy Osbourne’s most recent album, Patient Number 9, Beck, who gained notoriety after succeeding Eric Clapton as The Yardbirds’ guitarist in 1965, has been a part of many iconic musical moments over the years.
Sandra Beck, the eight-time Grammy winner’s wife, is still alive.
