Legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck has died aged 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.
The rock star, who just weeks ago finished touring with Johnny Depp, passed away ‘peacefully’ on Tuesday, his agent revealed on Wednesday night.
His family shared the heartbreaking news on his Twitter page along with a picture of the star on stage with his trademark shades and guitar.
It comes just weeks after the former Yardbirds star finished a transatlantic tour with Depp as they promoted their debut album ’18’. The album is nominated for three Brit Awards in the UK.
Beck is survived by his sixth wife, Sandra.
