In fact less than a decade before his death, in 2014, he was rushed to hospital for a surgical procedure, yet was back on stage within weeks.
He also remained in good health due to his commitment to avoiding drugs and alcohol, once saying he’d never been under the influence of either during a performance.
His hard work paid off and as recently as last month, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song, thanks to his collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne on the track ‘Patient Number 9.’
From his first ever single, ‘Beck’s Bolero’, featuring future Led Zeppelin stars John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, and The Who’s drummer, Keith Moon, up to his last tour dates with Johnny Depp, Jeff’s artistic legacy will guarantee he is sorely missed.
