Johnny Depp performs to Manchester crowd at O2 Apollo

Hollywood star Johnny Depp took to the stage in Manchester tonight for a different kind of performance. He joined British guitar legend Jeff Beck to sing at the O2 Apollo to the delight of the crowd.

This was the sixth time the Pirates of the Caribbean star has performed with Beck as part of his UK tour. Depp joined Beck for four songs, including Isolation, which they released in 2020, and for the encore a cover of The Beatles A Day in the Life .

Depp was mobbed by fans when he left the Lowry Hotel in Salford this afternoon, before travelling to the O2 Apollo. The 58-year-old has been spotted across the country in recent days, from sharing a pint in a pub in Newcastle with indie star Sam Fender to a Kent wildlife sanctuary.
