It has been confirmed that Johnny Depp will come to York to gig with Jeff Beck on stage.
The Hollywood superstar, 58, who on won his multimillion-dollar US defamation lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard yesterday (Wednesday) had previously surprised audiences and fans when he joined Beck on stage in Sheffield and at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The actor, who previously collaborated with Beck on the 2020 track Isolation, will now perform in Gateshead, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham – and York.
Beck plays the York Barbican on Tuesday (7 June). Tickets have sold out.
It was a gig rescheduled from 21 April last year.
Depp sued Aquaman star Heard, 36, for $50 million 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.”
Following the verdict, Heard said she was “heartbroken” but “even even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women”.
She added that Depp’s attorneys had succeeded in getting jury members to “overlook” freedom of speech.
Depp said he “feels at peace” as he was seen relaxing in a pub in Newcastle after the verdict.
The actor said he was “truly humbled” after jurors returned verdicts in his favour on Wednesday after six weeks of evidence and roughly 13 hours of deliberation.
Depp has joined Jeff Beck on his UK tour, appearing on stage to sing with him at various venues across the UK, including at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday and Tuesday.
