A rather sad news! Mick Jagger is devastated by this loss
Mick Jagger expressed his sorrow over the passing of Jeff Beck, who died suddenly at 78 from bacterial meningitis. His family shared the news on Twitter, requesting privacy during this difficult time. Beck, a pivotal figure in rock music, joined the Yardbirds in 1965, where he innovated the use of feedback, a technique he developed by accident while performing in larger venues.
After leaving the Yardbirds, he released the hit “Hi Ho Silver Lining” and formed the Jeff Beck Group with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, Beck’s influence on music is unmatched.
Jagger remembered Beck as a close friend and one of the greatest guitarists, while Jimmy Page, who replaced him in the Yardbirds, praised Beck’s unique musical abilities. Beck’s legacy will endure, and he will be deeply missed.
