Johnny Depp performs alongside Jeff Beck for a third time as jury deliberates verdict in defamation case
- Johnny Depp made a third appearance at a Jeff Beck concert in the UK on Tuesday.
- The actor appeared on stage alongside Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Johnny Depp has once again appeared on stage alongside musician Jeff Beck as he continues to wait for the verdict in his ongoing defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
According to multiple reports, Depp performed with Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday. This is the third consecutive appearance Depp has made on stage with Beck. Depp has made surprise cameos during two previous shows on Beck's tour.
The actor first appeared on stage at the actor's show in Sheffield, England, on Sunday before turning up on stage at the musician's gig at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday. Footage of the concert posted on social media shows Depp on stage at the Royal Albert Hall with his guitar, singing next to Beck.
"He came knocking on my dressing-room door about five years ago, and we haven't stopped laughing since," Beck said onstage Monday, according to Sky News. "We kept it quiet because… obvious reasons… here he is."
As Insider reported, video footage taken from the event shows Depp and Beck performing a cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" as well as Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." They also performed Depp's unreleased song, "This is a Song for Ms. Hedy Lamarr."
Depp is still waiting for a verdict in his defamation case with Amber Heard. The jury is currently deliberating on the case, which began on April 11 and included over six weeks of testimony.
Johnny Depp first filed the lawsuit against Heard in March 2019, accusing her of defaming him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she described herself as a victim of domestic violence. Depp alleged that in reality Heard instead physically and verbally attacked him throughout their relationship.
Heard has denied the allegations and countersued, laying out in court filings at least 10 instances in which she says Depp physically abused her, often in what she described were alcohol- or drug-fueled rages.
