If Jeff Beck performing at the Sage Gateshead wasn't enough to wow North East rock fans, the appearance of Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp on stage alongside the guitar legend was enough to propel interest in the show into the stratosphere.
Photographs of the pair enjoying a night out in Newcastle with local hero Sam Fender were posted on social media on Wednesday evening, just around the time Depp learned that he'd won his high-profile defamation case against former wife Amber Heard back home in the United States.
The 58-year-old actor, a close friend of Beck, has appeared alongside the guitarist in each show on the current UK tour, which kicked off last week in Sheffield, sparking huge media interest from around the world. A reporter from People magazine in New York even travelled to Tyneside to check out what was going on.
