Singer Sam Fender has apologised on social media after he shared a picture of himself and Johnny Depp in which he described the actor as a 'hero'. Sam had gone drinking with fellow musician Jeff Beck and actor Depp in Newcastle city centre last week.
Pirates of the Caribbean actor Depp was in the North-East on Wednesday (June 1) to support Beck at the Sage in Gateshead. And Sam took to Instagram to share with his followers that he had been having a drink with Depp, just as the verdict in his six-week defamation trial in the US against ex-wife Amber Heard came through, Chronicle Live reports.
In the post, which has since appeared to have been deleted, Fender wrote: "Some serious heroes," tagging Beck and Depp in the photo of the group enjoying a social in the beer garden of the boozer. It was then announced later the very same night that Depp had won his US trial.
