Hollywood actor adds to list of starry musical projects as he awaits restart of libel case against the Sun newspaper

Johnny Depp has announced his latest musical project, an album made with 75-year-old blues-rock guitarist Jeff Beck.

Announcing the collaboration with a cover of John Lennon’s song Isolation, Beck said: “Given all the hard days and true ‘isolation’ that people are going through in these challenging times, we decided now might be the right time to let you all hear it. You’ll be hearing more from Johnny and me in a little while, but until then we hope you find some comfort and solidarity in our take on this Lennon classic.”

"Johnny and I have been working on music together for a while now and we recorded this track during our time in the studio last year. We weren’t expecting to release it so soon but given all the hard days and true ‘isolation’ that people are going through in these challenging times, we decided now might be the right time to let you all hear it. You’ll be hearing more from Johnny and me in a little while but until then we hope you find some comfort and solidarity in our take on this Lennon classic." -JB https://Rhino.lnk.to/isolation
