Earlier this month, Depp and and Jeff Beck shared a new cover of The Velvet Underground’s ‘Venus In Furs’.
Depp made headlines last month (May 29) when he was a surprise guest at Beck’s show in Sheffield. The pair performed covers of John Lennon, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix, and the actor went on to join Beck on stage at a handful of other gigs despite awaiting the verdict in his defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard at the time.
The pair are set to release a collaborative album called ’18’ next month. The album was recorded over the past three years and is due out on July 15.
Elsewhere, Depp thanked fans for their support in a message on social media after winning his defamation trial against ex-wife Heard.
