Hollywood star Johnny Depp is to bring his musical talents to Glasgow alongside Alice Cooper and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry.

The trio – who together are billed as The Hollywood Vampires – are to embark on a short UK tour this summer where they will be joined by The Darkness and The Damned.

Depp – who last month performed on stage with The Pogues’ Shane MacGowan – has long enjoyed an interest in music and provided backing vocals to Aerosmith track Freedom.

He has also performed with Marilyn Manson, Willie Nelson and the Black Keys and attended Glastonbury festival in 2017.

A number of rock star friends are to make surprise appearances during the four dates, which includes trips to London and Birmingham.

Depp warned: “There will be rumbling in ears and there might be blood trickling out of one ear.”
