Jeff Beck Leaves £28million Fortune to Wife Before Death

Jeff Beck, the iconic rock guitarist, bequeathed his entire estate, valued at £27,604,802, to his wife, Sandra, following his death at the age of 78 in January 2023. The musician passed away due to bacterial meningitis, and his will, signed in 2017, clearly outlined his wishes for Sandra to inherit his substantial fortune. The couple, who married in 2005, shared a deep bond, with Sandra also contributing creatively to Beck's work, including designing the album cover for his collaboration with actor Johnny Depp. Beck's funeral took place at St Mary's Church in Beddington, Sutton, where a host of rock legends, including Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, and Robert Plant, gathered to pay their respects. His family expressed profound sadness at his passing, highlighting the impact of his loss on both personal and musical fronts. Just weeks before his death, Beck had completed a transatlantic tour with Depp, promoting their debut album, "18." Throughout his illustrious career, Beck collaborated with numerous music icons, including Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, and Stevie Wonder. He initially gained fame with The Yardbirds but later pursued a successful solo career, famously releasing the hit single "Hi Ho Silver Lining." Beck was known for his unique playing style, which he described as a means to create "the sickest sounds possible," emphasizing his disregard for conventional rules in music.
