Johnny Depp has appeared on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday night alongside guitarist Jeff Beck for the second night in a row amid his ongoing legal battle.
The 58-year-old actor is currently embroiled in the high-profile legal fight with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, who he is suing for $50million (£38.2million).
Concert-goers had expressed hope the actor may appear at the Royal Albert Hall in west London after performing with Beck at Sheffield City Hall on Sunday.
In Sheffield, they reportedly performed their cover of the John Lennon song Isolation, which they previously released in 2020.
Many clips of them playing together were circulated on social media on Monday. Depp’s appearance in the UK has surprised many as he awaits a verdict in his multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The actor joined Jeff Beck at London’s Royal Albert Hall playing seven songs including Jimi Hendrix’s Little Wing and John Lennon’s Isolation.
Some of the fans in London however said they would have rather just watched Beck on his own.

Austin Delord said: ‘Too much Johnny Depp, we did not come here to see him. Bit of a publicity stunt, he did not bring much to the party, but he took away so much from Beck.’
Francesca Cox, 23, said: ‘It was cool, unexpected. I preferred what was before.’
Others were glad to see the star, celebrating his arrival on stage with shouts of: ‘I love you Johnny!’
Moments before he appeared Beck said: ‘We first met when he knocked on my dressing room door five years ago.

‘We’ve been trying to keep it a secret but, well, here he is.’
The pair also played Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On and The Beatles’ A Day in the Life.
Ann-Marie Robertson, a Californian who came to see Beck’s show said of Depp: ‘I loved it. He tells a story with the lyrics and I understand the words. He is an actor and he really gets it across.’
After the show a 100-strong crowd gathered outside a back entrance hoping to catch a glimpse of the 58-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor is suing his former partner over a 2018 article she wrote in the Washington Post, which was titled: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.’

The article does not mention Depp by name, yet his lawyers say it falsely implies he physically and sexually abused the Aquaman actress while they were together.
On Friday both sides gave their closing statements, urging jurors to consider other victims of domestic abuse.
The jury is now deliberating on the case, which began on April 11 and involved six weeks of evidence.
Depp spent Sunday night onstage after apparently flying straight to Sheffield City Hall to rock with Beck, performing a cover of John Lennon’s ‘Isolation,’ according to MSN.
After the show, the Hollywood star met fans outside the venue, posing for photos and signing autographs.

‘JOHNNY SINGING ISOLATION OMG’ exclaimed a Twitter user who caught a quick video of the performance.
The song, released officially by the pair in 2020, has recently gained notoriety due to the publicity from the trial.
The duo also performed covers of Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’ and Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Little Wing,’ according to The Hollywood Reporter.
