Johnny Depp smiles at Jeff Beck gig after Amber Heard's verdict request is thrown out

Johnny Depp appeared in good spirits as he waved to fans from his tour bus in Munich on Wednesday night, after taking to the stage with guitar legend Jeff Beck.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 59, played to crowds at the Tollwood ahead of the release of his 13-track album, called 18, with the musician later this week.

Sporting a rugged hat with feathers, Johnny beamed as he made his way to the front of the bus to greet well wishes, after a judge denied Amber Heard's request to have the verdict against her dismissed and the case re-tried.

The actor - who played guitar and sang a selection of rock ballads during the gig - completed the look with a casual grey cardigan.

Johnny seemed relaxed as he lapped up the attention from his adoring fans, which comes weeks after his blockbuster trial with ex-wife Amber.

Last month, it was announced Johnny had officially been added to the line-up for the remainder of Jeff's tour.

The pair were previously spotted at a Newcastle's Bridge Tavern pub with singer Sam Fender whilst travelling the road.

It followed shortly after Johnny won his $50 million lawsuit over ex-wife Amber.

The Hollywood star was awarded compensatory damages of $10million (£8 million) and a further $5 million (£4 million) in punitive damages, following a six-week long blockbuster defamation case.

Amber, 36, meanwhile, won on one count of her counter-suit, successfully arguing Depp’s press agent defamed her by claiming her allegations were 'an abuse hoax'.

The jury awarded her £1.5 million in damages.

In his statement after his win, issued through his spokesperson, Depp said: "Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed.

"All in the blink of an eye.

"False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already travelled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career.

"And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled."

Meanwhile, earlier this week, a judge denied Amber's request to have the verdict against her dismissed and the case re-tried.

The Aquaman star's legal team filed a motion earlier this month based on the motion the jury verdict delivered in June that she defamed her ex-husband was not backed up by evidence.

Amber's lawyers also alleged about the eligibility of one member of the jury, following claims 'Juror 15' was never called for duty and was wrongly seated in the trial.

In court documents Judge Penny Azcarate - who oversaw the high-profile trial - denied all of Amber's legal team's requests.
