After the great victory, Johnny Depp “ignites” the art world

A week after the end of his court battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard, actor Johnny Depp announced that he will release an album with English rock singer Jeff Beck on July 15.

The record, entitled “18”, includes 13 songs, most of which are works by old artists, including the “Beach Boys” and “Velvet Underground” bands, and artist and singer Marvin Gaye, according to a statement issued by Depp and Beck.

The album also includes two songs written by Johnny Depp, 59, “This is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamar” and “Saad Parade”.

Depp and Beck became friends in 2016, and Beck, 77, said when Johnny and I started playing together, it ignited our youthful spirit and creativity.” “.
This album is not Johnny Depp’s first work in the field of music, as the actor was for more than a decade a member of the “Hollywood Vampires”, which he formed with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. “It is a great honor for me to play and write music with Jeff, who is one of the greats,” said Depp, who is currently participating as a guest star on Jeff Beck’s Europe tour.

The jury in the court that heard Depp’s defamation suit against his ex-wife issued its decision last week and ordered Amber Heard to pay more than $10 million in damages to the star.

The authority considered that the 36-year-old actress had denigrated Depp in an article she wrote in the “Washington Post” in 2018, in which she described herself as “a public figure who represents domestic violence, although she did not explicitly mention his name in the article.”
