Sam Fender joined Johnny Depp in Newcastle's Bridge Tavern on Wednesday night, minutes before the verdict on the actor's case with ex Amber Heard was announced.
Shortly after 7pm, it was revealed that the jury in the courtroom in Fairfax had reached a verdict, having Johnny and Amber both accused each other of defamation. And, just as news of the high profile case's conclusion broke, Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny sent the Quayside boozer into a frenzy when he was spotted by fellow drinkers.
And there wasn't just one hero in the boozer at the time because, as well as Jeff Beck who Johnny will play the Sage Gateshead with on Thursday, Hypersonic Missiles singer Sam joined them, after a busy spell of his own which saw him raise well over £130,000 at a charity gig at o2 Newcastle City Hall and play to a packed crowd at Radio 1's One Big Weekend in a matter of days.
