Johnny Depp made another surprise appearance on stage on Monday night, 30 May, as he awaits the verdict in his defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The Edward Scissorhands actor took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall alongside musician Jeff Beck at the latter’s concert in London.

Depp was pictured playing his electric guitar and smiling and clapping towards the audience. The duo performed their cover of John Lennon’s 1970 song ‘Isolation’.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is also a member of the band Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.
Depp previously joined Beck on stage on Sunday at a show in Sheffield which left fans in shock.
Check it out:
Together, Depp and Beck also performed Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' and Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing'.
Writing on Twitter, one shocked fan said: "Just been to see Jeff Beck at Sheffield City Hall, he had a surprise special guest, Johnny Depp!!"
Another added: "The fact that Johnny Depp is in Sheffield makes me want to cry!!!!! Im off on a road trip."
The appearance comes as both Depp and Heard's attorneys rested their cases and offered closing arguments last week after six weeks of testimony.
The jury will reconvene to deliberate on Tuesday after they did not come to a decision on Friday, while Monday was Memorial Day, a bank holiday in the US.
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million for libel in the state of Virginia, following abuse claims she made in an op-ed for the Washington Post back in 2018.
Depp’s legal team argued that the article implies Heard was physically and sexually abused by Depp when they were married, although the article does not refer to him by name.
Heard, who has starred in The Rum Diary and Aquaman is countersuing Depp for $100 million for defamation following statements Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman made to the press following her op-ed article.
