Depp is already well on his way to getting his life back as fans can apparently expect a joint album with Jeff Beck.
As per The Guardian, Beck the broke news during a performance with Depp on stage on 2 June in Gateshead, United Kingdom.
“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.”
