Johnny Depp to release album with Jeff Beck

Joint-project will be released in July, says guitarist who has toured with Depp during the latter stages of high-profile defamation trial

Jeff Beck has announced the release date for an album he has made with Johnny Depp, the day after the conclusion of the actor's high-profile defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Speaking at a concert in Gateshead on Thursday, where Depp made a guest appearance on stage, Beck said: I met this guy five years ago and we've never stopped laughing since. We actually made an album. I don't know how it happened. It will be out in July."
