One might imagine awaiting a verdict in a highly publicized, heavily scrutinized six-week trial would leave one pretty knackered, as the British say. Not for Johnny Depp, who’s spent the last month and a half litigating his ex-wife Amber Heard’s upsetting abuse claims in a Fairfax, Virginia courtroom. Instead of say, keeping a low profile until reconvening in court, the actor jetted to London and made back-to-back surprise appearances at friend and singer Jeff Beck’s show over the weekend—as one does!
On Sunday and Monday, Depp was reportedly met with a standing ovation as he took to the stage, first at Beck’s show in Sheffield and on the following day at the famed Royal Albert Hall. Depp sang alongside Beck for a 20-minute set—joining him again for the encore—and performed a series of covers that included John Lennon’s “Isolation,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing,” and Marvin Gay’s “What’s Going On.”
