Rock royalty, movie stars, the global music industry and concert fans have paid tribute to the ‘six-string warrior’, guitarist Jeff Beck, who died suddenly of bacterial meningitis aged 78.
Described as the ‘world’s greatest guitarist’ who played with the great Jimmy Hendrix, Beck, a guitar virtuoso who pushed the boundaries of blues, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, died on Wednesday (AEDT) in a hospital near his home at Riverhall, a rural estate in southern England.
