LONDON—Hollywood star Johnny Depp, awaiting a ruling in a U.S. defamation case involving his ex-wife and actress Amber Heard, made an unscheduled appearance at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Monday during a rock concert, his second in as many nights.
Depp appeared with English guitarist Jeff Beck to perform a series of music covers in the northern English city of Sheffield on Sunday, surprising the crowd.
On Monday, he showed up again onstage with Beck, at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Jurors in Virginia deliberating the defamation claims from both “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Depp and Heard adjourned on Friday without returning a verdict.
They will resume discussions on Tuesday after theMemorial Day holiday. Beck is scheduled to have another show at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday.
Depp, 58, sued ex-wife Heard for $50 million, arguing that she defamed him when she called herself “a public figure representing domestic abuse” in an opinion piece she wrote.
Heard, 36, countersued for $100 million, saying Depp smeared her reputation when his lawyer called her accusations a “hoax”.
