Fresh off his 15 Million dollar win in the defamation case against his ex wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is dipping in the music industry.
The 58-year-old actor’s role is now rock star gone in chief. He took the stage with Jeff Beck on Thursday (June 2) in Gateshead, England, where they also announced a new album coming in July.
Depp and Beck performed before in May. cameo. Beck explains how much their friendship has meant to him. “I’m going to take this opportunity to tell you that I met this guy five years ago and we haven’t stopped laughing since,” he said in fan-footage of the concert. “We actually made an album. I don’t know how it happened. It will be out in July.”
No name or date has been announced, but fans got a taste of the album last night. The set began with Depp performing an unreleased track about the great actress — and co-inventor of spread-spectrum broadcast communications technologies — Hedy Lamarr. They also covered Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing,” and John Lennon’s “Isolation,” which they had previously released as a studio recording.
Throughout the trial Depp was seen singing Marley classics as he pulled up and left the court.
