Beck rose to fame with The Yardbirds, whom he joined in 1965, replacing Clapton in the band’s formation. The two musicians toured together as solo artists in their later years. In 2018, Beck opened up about his past “awkward rivalry” with Clapton.
Clapton paid tribute to Beck on social media following the guitarist’s death earlier this year. “‘Always and forever,'” he captioned a photograph of the late artist.
