30. Andrea Bocelli's stage anniversary - Johnny Depp makes a guest appearance

Star-Tenor Andrea Bocelli (65) is currently celebrating his 30th Anniversary on stage with the three-day event "Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration". Concerts took place on July 15 and 17 at Teatro del Silenzio in Bocelli's hometown Lajatico, Tuscany, with another one scheduled for July 19. Bocelli welcomed several guest stars on stage, including "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp (61).

Tribute to a dear friend

The actor and musician, who plays guitar in Hollywood Vampires, joined Bocelli on the instrument. According to "TMZ", the three performed the song "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor", which Depp and his friend Jeff Beck (1944-2023) were reported to have played together in 2020 when they visited Bocelli. The trio is said to have recorded the song together. "We found a way for him to be here," Depp reportedly said on stage about the eight-time Grammy winner, who died on January 10, 2023.

In July 2022, Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck released their joint album titled "18" along with an official music video for the single "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr". The duo also had several live performances together, including in several German cities. Depp paid tribute to Beck after his death with two memorial concerts in London. Alongside Rock legends like Eric Clapton (79) or Rod Stewart (79), the actor and guitarist performed at the London Royal Albert Hall.
