On This Day, Jan. 10, 2023 …<\/span><\/p>\n

Legendary guitarist\u00a0Jeff Beck\u00a0<\/strong>passed away at the age of 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beck came to prominence as a member of The<\/strong>\u00a0Yardbirds<\/strong>, but went on to have a successful solo career, fronting his own\u00a0Jeff Beck Group<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Beck won six Grammys for best rock instrumental performance, plus additional wins for best pop instrumental performance and best pop collaboration with vocals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, in 1992 as a member of The Yardbirds and again in 2009 for his solo work.<\/span><\/p>\n
