Some of rock's biggest stars have paid tribute to guitarist Jeff Beck, who died at the age of 78.

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin said the musician's "gift was enormous", recalling "his boundless energy and enthusiasm".

"He took his place alongside the virtuosos of the time, his homies,” the singer added.

Sir Rod Stewart, who sang with band guitarist Jeff Beck, simply called "the greatest".

Posting a photo of the couple together on Instagram, he wrote, "Jeff Beck was on another planet. He took me and Ronnie Wood to the States in the late 60's in his band the Jeff Beck Group and we haven't looked back since.

"He was one of the few guitarists who, when playing live, would listen to me sing and respond.

"Jeff, you were the greatest, my man. Thank you for everything. RIP."
