Johnny Depp has injured his ankle and is unable to travel as a result. But he wants to use the prescribed break to be able to go full throttle in Europe.
The Hollywood Vampires, consisting of Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, have announced that they will have to postpone their concerts in the USA. The reason for this is a “painful injury” to Depp’s ankle, as stated in a message from the band on May 29 on Instagram.
“He was advised by his doctor not to travel. He is devastated but looking forward to resting so all four vampires can do their best on the European tour.”
So far, the European concerts have not been affected by the postponement. All chewed tickets will remain valid for the new dates. These are scheduled for July 28 in Boston, July 29 in Manchester, New Hampshire and July 30 in Bethel.
The 59-year-old actor and musician shared an Instagram Story the same day detailing his injury. What started as a small fracture got worse “somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall,” Depp wrote in his story. Several doctors have urged me to refrain from any activity, which is why I am unfortunately unable to travel at the moment.”
The band formed in 2012, the self-titled debut was released in 2015. The current record RISE was released by Depp, Cooper and Perry in 2019.
