Suosikkinäyttelijä Johnny Deppistä rock-tähti

Näyttelijä Johnny Depp perustaa The Hollywood Vampires-nimisen yhtyeen yhdessä legendaarisen Alice Cooperin ja Aerosmithin kitaristin Joe Perryn kanssa.

Depp on aikaisemmin ilmaissut inhoavansa ajatusta näyttelijä-muusikoista. Ajatus, että jonkun musiikkia kuunnellaan vain sen takia, että joku on sattunut ennen sitä esiintymään lukuisissa elokuvissa, on näyttelijän mielestä etova.

Kommentistaan huolimatta musikaalinen näyttelijä on tehnyt paljon yhteistyötä ja esiintynyt useita kertoja Alice Cooperin kanssa. Depp on myös ollut vierailemassa Aerosmithin keikalla sekä soittanut kitaraa mm. Oasiksen ja Marilyn Mansonin levyillä.

Yhtyeen nimi The Hollywood Vampires juontaa juurensa ryhmään, johon Cooper kuului 70-luvulla muiden kuuluisien rock-tähtien, kuten John Lennonin kanssa. Cooper on vahvistanut yhtyeen ensimmäisen keikan Instagramissa.
