Beck and Depp were seen out drinking in Newcastle together with fellow musician Sam Fender last year.
In a video with Hollywood Authentic last year, Depp described his friendship with Beck.
He said: ‘There’s a couple who very much helped to keep me alive and sane and happy through the weirdness and that’s Jeff and [his wife] Sandra.’
A statement from Beck’s agent at the time of his death read: ‘On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing.
‘After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.’
A representative said that Beck had been ill over the holiday period and passed away at a hospital close to his home in Surrey.
Beck is survived by his second wife, Sandra. The pair married in 2005 when he was 61 and Sandra was 41 in Tunbridge Wells with Sir Paul McCartney among the guests.
Sandra designed the album cover artwork for Beck’s collaboration with Depp, which features the pair as teenagers on the cover.
Beck said of the sleeve: ‘When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity. We would joke about how we felt 18 again, so that just became the album title too.’
