Mick Jagger can’t hold back his tears: “We will all miss him so much…” Jeff Beck, the man who redefined guitar music in the 1960’s, раssеd аwау Thursday at the age of 78. The news of his sudden loss was shаrеd on Twitter by members of his closest family.
“On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we shаrе the news of Jeff Beck’s passing,” the statement said.
“After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully раssеd аwау yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.”
Regarded among the greatest of all time, Beck constantly pushed boundaries and was a central figure in the key development of rock music.
Throughout the course of his career, which spanned five decades, Beck experimented with new sounds and approaches, which brought freshness in the world of music.
Beck joined the Yardbirds in 1965, replacing Eric Clapton. He stayed with the band for around two years, but it was during that period that he invented use of feedback, something that influenced other great names in the industry.
Speaking of that technique, Beck told BBC Radio 2’s Johnnie Walker, “That [technique] came as an accident.
“We played larger venues, around about ’64-’65, and the PA was inadequate. So we cranked up the level and then found out that feedback would happen.
“I started using it because it was controllable – you could play tunes with it. I did this once at Staines Town Hall with the Yardbirds and afterwards, this guy says, ‘You know that funny noise that wasn’t supposed to be there? I’d keep that in if I were you.’
“So I said, ‘It was deliberate mate. Go away.’”
Once he departed with the Yardbirds, Beck went on to release the single Hi Ho Silver Lining before forming the first incarnation of the Jeff Beck Group in early 1967. The group featured Ronnie Wood on bass, and Rod Steward.
Beck was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 as part of the Yardbirds and then again in 2009 as a solo artist.
This incredible musician’s passing brought devastation at his many fans and friends. Among them musician Mick Jagger who paid his tribute to Beck. They were close friends, and Jagger recalled asking Beck for help with the lead guitar parts on his first solo album, She’s the Boss, back in 1985.
“We have lost a wonderful man and one of the world’s best guitar players,” Jagger wrote on the social media.
Jimmy Page, who replaced Beck in Yardbirds, also paid a heartfelt tribute. “Jeff’s channeling abilities enabled him to access music from other levels. His approach is unique… When I say I’ll miss you greatly, I’m sure I speak for all your countless other fans,” Page wrote.
The influence Beck had on music and the mark he left can never be replicated. May he rest in peace.

Brendan Fraser, the star of “The Mummy,” put on up to 270 kg. New images alarmed enthusiasts.
For his part in Darren Aronofsky’s play Whale, he changed his appearance. The A24 film studio’s Twitter account posted the first image taken on the set.
The movie is a part of the 79th Venice International Film Festival’s official lineup, which runs from August 31 to September 10. The actor’s head is all that is visible in the opening photos from the filming, but it is already obvious that he has totally transformed into the main character, who is a foggy figure.
Keith narrates the tale of Charlie, a man who gained up to 270 kg as a result of binge eating and the breakup with his fiancée. Ellie, the protagonist’s 17-year-old daughter, is upset with him for betraying his family and the protagonist tries to mend fences with her.
Something must be there that we haven’t yet seen. I can only say that. Certainly, it falls short of all I’ve done in the past, but I’m not trying to be humble. I anticipate your admiration, he says.
It should be noted that Brendan Fraser has put on a lot of weight recently as a result of accidents and personal issues he had while filming The Mummy. This wasn’t always the case, though, since his superb shape throughout his formative years made many people envious.
The actor had an athletic build when he was younger.
Brendan Fraser had a weight problem and was in risk of quitting his job.
Consider the time in the actor’s life when there wasn’t much employment. He dove headfirst into each project and suffered major injuries on the third “Mummy” filming set, including a broken rib, an intervertebral disc rupture, knee, and voice cord damage. Up until 2015, Brendan spent a lot of time in the hospital to enhance his health. This is one of the factors contributing to the actor’s sudden weight gain, as was previously noted.
