Johnny Depp gets rockstar reception at Scottish concert with crowds screaming 'Innocent!'

Johnny Depp got a rockstar reception as he performed on stage in Glasgow on Friday night for Jeff Beck's tour.

The actor, 58, sang What's Going On? and Isolation in front of 3,000 fans at the Royal Concert Hall, with the crowd screaming back at him "innocent!" following his win in his lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Johnny was on stage for half an hour showing off his vocal talents and guitar skills, with the Pirates of the Caribbean star also singing The Beatles' A Day In The Life, according to TMZ.

Depp's Glasgow performance in the fifth time he has taken to the stage this week, having recently played in Sheffield, London and Gateshead.

Johnny is currently enjoying a stint on stage with his musician pal Jeff, fresh from being awarded $10million dollars following his defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber.

The actor was seen waving to cheering crowds as he exited the Royal Concert Hall.

Johnny was not present in the Virginia courtroom on Wednesday - where a jury also found his ex-wife had been defamed when one of his attorneys claimed her allegations of sexual abuse were a 'hoax' - as he has been busy touring the U.K with the singer.

On Thursday, it was confirmed the Edward Scissorhands actor had officially been added to the line-up for the remainder of his singer pal's U.K tour.

Jeff first invited his Hollywood icon on stage with him last week, as a jury began deliberating their verdict in the actor's defamation case against his former spouse over in America.

Johnny's surprise appearance reportedly drew loud cheers from the crowd - with many delighted to see him - but not e veryone was impressed by his musical talents.

"Jeff Beck was excellent," one fan who bought tickets two years ago before the tour was delayed by Covid has told the BBC.

"The thing that spoiled the whole night was the talentless Mr Depp. He was like a drunken pub singer at one point. I don't know what Jeff Beck's thinking of."

Most fans however, have been jubilant watching the Hollywood actor perform alongside his long-time pal.

Johnny's stint as a musician comes after he thanked the jury in his defamation case against Aquaman actress Amber, 36, for "giving me my life back".

The City of Lies actor was awarded compensatory damages of $10million (£8 million) and a further $5 million (£4 million) in punitive damages, following a six-week long high-profile televised defamation case.

Johnny sued his ex-wife over a newspaper article titled: "I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change."

The piece, published in the Washington Post in 2018, did not named the actor, but the star's legal team successfully argued that the op-ed had a damaging impact on his career.
