Johnny Depp Reuniting With Band for Tour After Amber Heard Trial

“Proud and happy for Johnnys huge win today,” he wrote. “We never doubted anything, we always knew the truth, and that the truth would prevail… Congratulations on getting your life back today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 

This isn’t the only rocking news to come from Depp since he was awarded almost $10.4 million dollars in damages after a Virginia jury found Heard liable of defaming him. In addition to the Hollywood Vampires tour, Johnny also announced a new album with Jeff Beck earlier this month.  

While awaiting the verdict, the Edward Scissorhands star also joined Jeff onstage for a surprise performance in May. The duo performed their rendition of John Lennon‘s 1970 hit “Isolation” as well as Marvin Gaye‘s “What’s Going On” and Jimi Hendrix‘s “Little Wing.” 

In a 2018 interview with The Guardian, Depp called his love of performing in a band “a completely different animal” to his roles on-screen.   

“What do I get from this that I normally don’t get? I get me!” he told the outlet. “When I’m up there on stage with these guys, it’s that feeling I had as a kid. It’s freedom. In movies someone is always telling you what to do, but here I have the freedom that my day job doesn’t allow. Most important, it’s really f–king fun.”
