Johnny Depp Surprises Fans at Alice Cooper Concert
Johnny Depp made an unexpected appearance on Friday night in London, joining Alice Cooper to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, just days after his passing.
The famed actor, known for his role in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” took to the stage sporting Captain Jack-style scarves and sunglasses, and played guitar alongside Cooper and his band. The crowd erupted as they performed the classic 1970 hit “Paranoid.”
One social media user remarked, “What a lovely tribute to Ozzy by Alice Cooper, featuring Johnny Depp last night,” sharing a video from the event.
Another fan expressed excitement on X, saying, “I saw Johnny Depp in London last night. It was such a surprise at the Alice Cooper show I attended!”
Cooper humorously introduced Depp as “the guy I found in an alley who mentioned something about a vampire,” prompting cheers from the audience.
Both Depp and Cooper are part of a band called Hollywood Vampires.
“This is for Ozzy!” Cooper shouted, wearing an Osbourne T-shirt as they wrapped up the song.
After the tribute, Depp stayed on stage to perform “School’s Out” with Cooper’s band. This comes as the actor prepares to return to Hollywood in the upcoming thriller “Day Drinker” alongside Penélope Cruz.
Ozzy Osbourne died on Tuesday at the age of 76, having battled several health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, which he had been diagnosed with in 2022.
Before the show in Cardiff, Wales, Cooper shared a video on Instagram, indicating that he learned about Osbourne’s death right before they went on stage. “It’s hard to accept when a giant falls,” Cooper said. “Ozzy and his family—your music, your humor, and everything you brought to rock and roll will be deeply missed.”
The Cardiff show was dedicated to the late Black Sabbath frontman.
After the concert, Cooper reflected, stating, “The whole world is mourning Ozzy tonight. Throughout his illustrious career, he earned immense respect as a showman and cultural icon from fans and peers alike.” He described Osbourne as a blend of “the Prince of Darkness” and “the Clown of the Court,” emphasizing his legacy in rock and roll. “When we lose someone like Ozzy, we feel the need to know our brother better,” he added.
