Mick Jagger is devastated by the passing of Jeff Beck, the guitar music icon who died suddenly at 78. Known for pushing musical boundaries, Beck’s family announced his peaceful passing due to bacterial meningitis. Beck’s innovative techniques, like feedback, influenced rock music significantly, notably during his time with the Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group. Jagger and Jimmy Page paid heartfelt tributes, recalling Beck’s immense talent and influence.
In the case of a death like Scott’s, the canceling artist typically is required to reschedule, provided those costs are less than the claim. The first show of the band’s Australian leg had been slated for March 19 in Perth. That performance was quickly postponed, as were the remaining six appearances for the territory. Australian promoter Michael Gudinski, whose Frontier Touring is presenting the band locally with AEG Live, says talks are underway to bring the band back in October/November.
Beck’s legacy in music is unparalleled, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. May he rest in peace.
