What happened to Johnny Depp?
During his tour with the band Hollywood Vampires, which he co-founded with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry in 2015, Johnny Depp suffered an ankle injury. The band is known for paying tribute to 1960s rock music, a genre that Depp greatly admires.
This injury comes as a setback for the actor, as the band had already postponed a tour in the United States due to the same injury.
According to reports from TMZ, Depp initially sprained his ankle during the promotional tour of his latest film, ‘Jeanne Du Barry,’ at the Cannes Film Festival. The injury was then aggravated by the physical demands of a musical tribute Depp performed in honor of his late friend, Jeff Beck.
