Pictures show Hollywood star Johnny Depp performing with Jeff Beck on stage at the Sage Gateshead

These pictures show Johnny Depp performing on stage with Jeff Beck at The Sage Gateshead.

The Hollywood star has caused a stir with fans since he arrived on Tyneside. On Wednesday night, the actor was spotted inside The Bridge Tavern in Newcastle with Sam Fender.

He was eating fish and chips in the pub on the Quayside on the same night as the verdict of his defamation case with Amber Heard, which he won. Staff in the pub closed off the terrace for him so he could meet with the North Shields singer.

General manager Janine Latchford said : "He was incredible. He gave me a hug and I told him that I loved him pretty much as soon as I saw him! He loved the art work and he was asking questions about the Tyne Bridge. He said he’d never been to Newcastle before."

On Thursday night, the Pirates of the Caribbean star performed to a packed crowd at Jeff Beck's show at the Sage Gateshead. Pictures from the gig show him singing into a microphone on stage while playing a guitar.

The 58-year-old is a close friend of Jeff Beck and has made a guest appearance alongside him in each show on his current UK tour. The last remaining tickets for the show in Gateshead were sold on Wednesday morning after it was announced that Johnny would be appearing on stage.
