Johnny Depp gives Jeff Beck warm hug during third performance in a row as jury in Amber Heard trial continue deliberations
Johnny Depp doesn’t appear keen to leave the UK any time soon as he performed with Jeff Beck for a third night in a row. The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor is currently awaiting a verdict in his libel trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, following an explosive six-week trial that laid bare the harrowing details of their former marriage. However, on Tuesday, Depp, 58, left his legal woes firmly off the stage as he performed with Beck, 77, and his band at London’s Royal Albert Hall again. With his white guitar wrapped across his body, Depp looked to be in great spirits as he sang in front of a packed audience wearing a peaked cap and multiple scarves with a waistcoat and white shirt, which had the sleeves rolled up. As the gig came to a close, Depp and Beck shared a warm hug on stage before the actor saluted the audience. It was the second time the pair had shared the stage at the Royal Albert Hall following Depp’s surprise cameo on Monday where he received a standing ovation. Depp also performed with the musician at his Sheffield City Hall show on Sunday. Nearly 4,000 miles away in Fairfax, Virginia, a seven-person jury continued its deliberations to decide whether Heard defamed Depp in her 2018 article published in The Washington Post. In the op-ed, Heard discussed her experience with domestic abuse but did not name Depp in the piece.

Johnny Depp returns to stage for second night joining Jeff Beck in London while Amber Heard trial verdict looms
Johnny Depp still hasn’t flown back to the US to await the verdict in his libel trial against Amber Heard, as he appeared on stage in the UK for a second night.  The Pirates of the Caribbean actor performed at Jeff Beck’s show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Monday after joining the musician at his gig in Sheffield the previous evening. Photos have emerged of Depp, 58, strumming his electric guitar and singing into the microphone during his second unannounced appearance. At the end of the show, he was seen smiling and clapping towards the audience. On Sunday, he performed alongside Beck at Sheffield City Hall much to the surprise of audience members who weren’t expecting him to pop up on the UK tour. During the show, Depp and Beck sang their 2020 song Isolation, a remake of John Lennon’s 1970 hit. The Edward Scissorhands actor, who is also part of the band Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, also performed a couple of other covers, with he and Beck rocking out to Marvin Gay’s What’s Going On and Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing.Many expected Depp to remain in Fairfax, Virginia where the bombshell libel trial has played out for more than a month, and where a verdict is imminent. Depp is suing ex-wife Heard over a 2018 article she wrote for The Washington Post, in which she detailed her experience of domestic abuse.
