The news of Beck’s passing led many of his old friends and business colleagues, including former Yardbirds bandmate Jimmy Page, to share their recollections of him with the public. After joining the English rock band as Page’s replacement in 1965, he eventually became the band’s guitarist for Eric Clapton the following year.
“The Warrior of the Six Strings is no longer here to be revered for the spell he could cast on the emotions of ordinary people. He was one of the greatest. Jeff’s channeling abilities allow him to access music from other dimensions. His method is unique. He looks to have an unlimited capacity for creation. Jeff, I’m sure I speak for all your many other fans when I say I’ll miss you tremendously. “May you finally find the peace you dearly deserve, Jeff Beck.”
She’s the Boss was Mick Jagger’s debut solo album, released in 1985. Beck was requested to play the lead guitar on the album. In response to Beck’s death, Jagger tweeted, “We have lost a wonderful man and one of the best guitar players in the world.”
He said that everyone would miss him horribly after he died.
