Johnny Depp didn't sit around this Memorial Day weekend. Instead of waiting in Virginia for the jury deliberation to continue Tuesday, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor took a trip across the pond to surprise Sheffield concertgoers on Sunday night.
As fans of the actor may know, Johnny released a cover of John Lennon's 1970s hit "Isolation" with artist Jeff Beck back in 2020. On Sunday night, the pair were able to perform the song live, much to the crowd's surprise.
Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard for $50 million for defamation in connection with the Aquaman star's 2018 Washington Post essay. In retaliation, Amber is counter-suing the Sleepy Hollow star for $100 million.
The jury began deliberations Friday afternoon and will continue Tuesday morning following the Memorial Day long weekend.
While most people would keep a low profile during these tense times, Johnny is determined to prove he's not letting anything slow him down.
In addition to performing their cover of "Isolation," the duo also treated the crowd to covers of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” and Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing.”
As fans may know, in addition to being an actor, Johnny spends his free time being a guitarist and vocalist as part of the band Hollywood Vampires, alongside Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.
As reported by People, the actor brought up his passion for guitar playing as the reason why he'd never purposely severe his own finger, in relation to the alleged altercation he and Amber had in Australia in 2015.
"Why would I ruin the only thing that was really good in my life aside from my children?" the father said his injured finger in relation to impacting his ability to play music.
"If I would have lost a finger from [my left hand] I would've had to learn how to play the guitar all over again," he testified.
The trial saw both Johnny and Amber accusing each other of abuse.
