Before Beck's death, the guitarist collaborated with Johnny Depp on his album, "18." It ultimately became his last album before his passing on Jan. 10.

The 13-track album featured two original songs written by Depp and their covers of songs by several artists, including Janis Ian, The Velvet Underground, The Everly Brothers, Killing Joke, and The Beach Boys, to name a few.

As part of its promotion, they launched a 2022 tour which ended on Nov. 12 in Reno, Nevada. However, neither the two knew it would be Beck's final concert.

According to Ultimate Classic Rock and Culture, Beck and Depp performed several original songs. The iconic guitarist also played his "Freeway Jam," "You Never Know," "Loose Cannon," "Star Cycle," and "Big Block."

Jeff Beck's Cause of Death

Two months after his last show, Beck succumbed at a hospital near his Surrey, England, home Tuesday following his "sudden" battle with bacterial meningitis.

His family's press release, cited by The Hollywood Reporter, confirmed Jeff Beck's cause of death, saying, "It is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck's passing," the family said in a statement. "After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family asks for privacy while they process this tremendous loss."

Beck's official Facebook page also wrote news about it and asked for privacy amid the tremendous loss.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains that bacterial meningitis is a severe infection that can lead to death in just a few hours after it gets contracted by a patient. People who suffer from the infection, although they survive it, have permanent disabilities, including hearing loss and brain damage.

Some of the types of bacteria that can cause meningitis can also lead to sepsis. It is a life-threatening medical emergency that refers to the body's extreme response to infection.

Beck started his career in 1964, and he was able to release hit albums throughout his career, including "Loud Hailer," "You Had It Coming," "Jeff," "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop," "Blow by Blow," "Flash," "Who Else," and "Wired," among others.
