Johnny Depp, 58, surprised fans by appearing on a show two days after the trial in the defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard in the United States.

Fans who were at the performance shared the news on social media, while Beck’s website described the artists’ meeting: “Musical soulmates have been working behind the scenes for the past few years on new music.”

Depp has filed a defamation suit against Heard. The reason was the article she wrote in The Washington Post in December 2018, describing having suffered “domestic abuse”. She didn’t name the actor, but he sued her for insinuating he was an abuser and asked for $50 million in damages. Amber counterattacked, claiming she suffered “physical violence and rampant abuse” from him. The actress asked for 100 million dollars.

There were six weeks of trial in the American city of Virginia, which included the ex-couple. The jury began deliberations after the last hearings on Friday (27), but was dismissed and will return to discuss the issue this Tuesday (31), when the verdict is expected.
