Ronnie Wood said he “had the best time” playing with “amazing musicians” at a series of concerts to honour the late Jeff Beck.

The Rolling Stones guitaris shared a photo on Instagram of him with Johnny Depp in a Rastafarian-style colourful hat and blue and white scarf after the concerts, which took place on Monday and Tuesday at the Royal Albert Hall.

The two Jeff Beck tribute concerts were held on May 22-23, 2023, at London’s Royal Albert Hall have added even more wattage to their all-star lineups.

Other artists who have reportedly expressed their interest to be involved include Clapton, Johnny Depp, Billy Gibbons, Imelda May, John McLaughlin, Robert Randolph, Olivia Safe, Rod Stewart, Joss Stone, Gary Clark Jr, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks.

Beck’s widow Sandra Beck and guitarist Eric Clapton had announced A Tribute To Jeff Beck to honour his memory and artistry after the Grammy winner died in January at the age of 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.

In the series of images, he also appeared alongside ZZ Top musician Billy Gibbons and Sir Rod Stewart.

Depp, who first met Beck in 2016, began recording an album with the influential rock guitarist while the Edward Scissorhands actor was also playing with Alice Cooper’s supergroup Hollywood Vampires.

In 2022, Beck released the full length album, titled 18, with Depp and the pair played a number of live gigs together, including at the Royal Albert Hall.

Depp, 59, appeared on stage on Monday, when he played songs such as Remember (Walkin’ In The Sand) by The Shangri-Las alongside Wood, Irish singer Imelda May and Gibbons.

Today, following Tina's death, Rolling Stones' guitarist Wood described Tina Turner as "a dear friend to our family".

Guitarist Jeff Beck, whose full name was Geoffrey Arnold Beck, died back in January at the age of 78 after contracting bacterial meningitis.

Jeff Beck’s funeral service was held on February 3. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page described him in the eulogy he gave as “the quiet chief”, according to comedian Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) who was in attendance.
