Will Johnny Depp join for other shows on the tour?

As Depp has appeared at Jeff Beck’s two previous shows in Sheffield and London, rumours are strong that he will make an appearance at the remaining shows on the tour.

This would of course include an appearance at the Birmingham Symphony Hall in Birmingham in early June.

Today (June 2) it has been confirmed that Depp will join Beck on his show in Birmingham - along with Gateshead, Glasgow, Manchester and York.

Depp, 58, won his multimillion-dollar US defamation lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard, 36, on Wednesday.

Depp sued Aquaman star Heard for 50 million dollars over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in the Washington Post, titled: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.”
