Sam Fender has apologised after referring to Johnny Depp as 'a hero' in an Instagram post. The singer posted a photo of himself with the actor and musician when the pair met up in Newcastle.
The Seventeen Going Under hitmaker joined the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and legendary guitarist Jeff Beck on Wednesday night where they shared a drink at the Bridge Tavern in Newcastle, reports the Chronicle Live.
Depp is supporting Beck on his UK tour and Fender took to Instagram to share with his followers that he had met the pair, as the verdict in his six-week defamation trial in the US against ex-wife Amber Heard came through.
In the post, Fender wrote: "Some serious heroes," tagging Beck and Depp in the photo. It was announced the same night that Depp had won his trial.
