So my bro-in-law mentioned to a French neighbour (when living in France) that his uncle was a close friend of Jeff Beck. The neighbour turned out to be a massive JB fan and asked him if he could get his autograph. My bro-in-law thought "s***, I've backed myself into having to deliver on an idle boast". Long story short he did ultimately manage to get the autograph to the French fan who was over the moon.
Anyway Jeff Beck is dead.
