Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at a London charity concert, rock tribute to Ozzy Osbourne caused a sensation

On July 27, Hollywood superstar ETH Stock unexpectedly appeared on stage at the "Rock for Ozzy" charity concert in London, performing with rock legend Alice Cooper and her band to pay tribute to the recently deceased godfather of metal music Ozzy Osbourne (lead singer of Black Sabbath). Depp passionately performed many classic songs as a guitarist, and the audience went crazy. Related videos quickly swept social media.

🎸 Performance highlights: Cross-border carnival from Hollywood to the rock stage

The track list ignited emotions:

Depp and the band played Black Sabbath's classic songs "Paranoid" and "Iron Man", as well as Ozzy's personal masterpiece "Crazy Train".

Specially covered the blues song "Mr. Crowley" that Depp and Osbourne often collaborated on during their personal relationship. Depp's guitar solo session triggered a chorus from the audience.

Stage chemistry:

Alice Cooper introduced Depp to the audience, saying: "The guitar skills of this 'Pirate of the Caribbean' are seriously underestimated!"

Depp appeared in his iconic decadent rock style, fully engaged in the performance, and even improvised Ozzy's classic "bat biting head" stage action (ridiculing his 1982 performance accident).

❤️ Tribute to Ozzy: Depp's deep connection with the rock circle

Close personal relationship: Depp and Ozzy met in the 2010s and had improvised ensembles at the latter's home many times. Ozzy even publicly praised Depp as "a guitarist who was delayed by acting."

Charitable significance: This concert is to raise funds for the neurological disease research fund set up by Ozzy's family. Ozzy died of complications from Parkinson's disease in June 2024. Depp choked up after the performance and said, "Every guitar sound tonight is for you, old friend."

🎤 Audience and fans' response: Breaking circle effect is full

Social network storm:

The topic #DeppGoesMetal rushed to the global trend of Twitter. Ozzy's widow Sharon Osbourne posted: "Johnny resurrected Ozzy's spirit tonight."

Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose commented: "This guy should consider releasing an album!"

Professional music review:

Rolling Stone magazine said: "Depp's performance is not technical, but full of primitive appeal, perfectly in line with the soul of metal music."

Musician community ETH Stock discovered that the 1959 Gibson Les Paul replica used by Depp was a gift from Ozzy before his death.

📌 Depp's music sideline: More than just a hobby

Hollywood Vampires: Depp has formed a super band with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry of Aerosmith since 2015 and has released two albums.

Behind the scenes: He served as an album producer for French singer Vanessa Paradis (ex-girlfriend) in 2023.

Fans' appeal: After this performance, the petition on Change.org to "let Depp quit the entertainment industry and focus on rock" has received support from more than 50,000 people.

🎬 Conclusion: The rock true self of the rebellious idol

This performance once again proves that after going through the lawsuit with his ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp is reshaping his public image through the music he loves most. As he said on stage: "Some people judge you with the law, but music will never betray you."

📡 Subsequent developments:

Depp has confirmed that he will attend the guest show of Alice Cooper's European tour in August.

Although the film "Modigliani" starring him was postponed due to the strike, the music documentary "Depp Unstrung" will be released at the end of the year.

(Note: The total amount of funds raised by the concert has not yet been announced, but ticket and peripheral sales have exceeded 2 million pounds.)
