Johnny Depp joins Jeff Beck AGAIN, this time for 2nd UK surprise performance ahead of defamation trial verdict

Johnny Depp was seen singing and playing his electric guitar during the surprise performance, which was his second gig with Jeff Beck

Johnny Depp performed on stage in England for the second night in a row as he awaits the judgment of his defamation trial against Amber Heard. Following the conclusion of the trial, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star came to the United Kingdom at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday, 30 May, as part of the guitarist Jeff Beck's UK tour.

Depp was seen singing and playing his electric guitar during the surprise performance, which was his second gig after appearing with Beck the night before in Sheffield. Some fans predicted his return to the stage on Monday after hearing him cry out "Johnny!" as Beck began his introduction of the actor. “He came knocking on my dressing room door about five years ago and we haven’t stopped laughing since,” Beck further stated, adding, "We kept it quiet for obvious reasons, but here he is.” Depp began his career as a musician and established the supergroup 'Hollywood Vampires' with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry in 2015. Beck and Depp played 'Isolation', a cover version of John Lennon's 1970 song, as well as Marvin Gay's 'What's Going On' and Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing'.

Jurors in the Depp-Heard case began deliberations last week. Each legal team presented their final statements, with Depp's lawyer claiming Heard "ruined his life", and Heard's legal team claiming Depp had begun a smear campaign against her by rejecting her accusations.

Heard has countersued Depp for $100 million in damages. The panel, which consisted of seven members of the public, began deliberations at 3 pm on Friday and ended roughly two hours later. They are scheduled to return on Tuesday, May 31, and may make an announcement about the case.
