THE Johnny Depp was at the bedside of the legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck shortly before he died and is “absolutely devastated” by his death, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.
The rock star, who just weeks ago finished touring with the actor, died “peacefully” on Tuesday at the age of 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.
The former Yardbirds star had just finished a transatlantic tour with Depp as they promoted their album ’18’, which is nominated for three Brit Awards.
A source told People magazine that Depp and Beck were close friends, with the Pirates of the Caribbean star visiting him in the hospital.
“They had a very close friendship, they were extremely close, and they came even closer last summer when they toured together.
“The disease came on very quickly and everything got worse quickly in the last two weeks. Johnny is still processing this news. He is devastated,” the source said.
