supports HTML5 videoJohnny Depp received a standing ovation at the Royal Albert Hall when he joined Jeff Beck on stage for a second time as he awaits the verdict in his trial against Amber Heard.The jury return to their deliberations today, but the trial seemed far from Depp’s mind as he thanked fans for their applause on stage at the London show a day after he joined Beck in Sheffield.Amid the long applause, fans could also be heard cheering Depp’s name.Attendees were stunned to see him, with one, Angela Flannery, telling the PA news agency: ‘I was pretty shocked.’She added: ‘[I have] always been a massive fan of his. My other half took me to this gig just to see Jeff Beck, I had no idea Johnny would be playing.‘It was brilliant, such a fantastic night in general… a special mention to the drummer girl, she was absolutely amazing [and] Johnny Depp smashed it.‘I’ll die happy [that] I’ve been in the same room as him now.’Beck welcomed Depp to the stage by saying: ‘He came knocking on my dressing room door about five years ago and we haven’t stopped laughing since.’He added that the appearances were kept quiet ‘for obvious reasons’ as he appeared to avoid mentioning the trial.
