Johnny Depp appears on stage with Jeff Beck for the third time as he awaits verdict in Amber Heard’s defamation trial | UK News

Johnny Depp appeared on stage alongside Jeff Beck on Tuesday night, amid his ongoing US legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard.

Depp performed with the rock legend at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday night for the third time this week.

It comes as the whole world awaits the verdict in his high-profile defamation trial against Miss Heard.

The jury in the multi-million dollar case was posted on Friday. Just 48 hours later, Depp was at Sheffield Town Hall to play on Beck’s European tour.

Together they appeared on stage again at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night and repeated the feat on Tuesday.

Their performances include a 2020 collaborative Isolation rendition, a cover of the 1970 John Lennon song.

The pair were seen waving together and hugging on stage on Tuesday, Depp wearing a bandana to tie back his long hair.

Footage of Depp singing and playing guitar was posted on social media earlier this week, showing spectators cheering and appreciating the Hollywood star.

“He came knocking on my dressing room door about five years ago, and we haven’t stopped laughing since,” Beck said in a video.

“We kept quiet for… obvious reasons… he’s here.”

The appearance of the 58-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean star in the UK has surprised many people as they await the verdict in the case against Heard.

Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over an article she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018 in which she described herself as “a figurehead for domestic abuse”.
