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.
