Johnny Depp injured his ankle at Cannes, leading the Hollywood Vampires to cancel their American leg. Here is what the band said about rescheduling the shows.
Fans of Johnny Depp who have been waiting eagerly to see the actor perform will have to wait for a while longer. A new report claimed that the Hollywood Vampire’s upcoming shows in the U.S. will be postponed.

Johnny Depp’s shows postponed
Apart from being a phenomenal actor, Johnny Depp is also the guitarist in the band Hollywood Vampires, which had several shows in the coming days. However, as the actor sustained an injury, his band postponed their show. The band has decided to postpone the American leg of their tour due to Johnny’s ankle injury. The actor recently attended the Cannes Film Festival to promote his film Jeanne Du Barry where he hurt his ankle earlier this month. A source told TMZ that Depp “stressed it further while trying to power through” during a tribute show for his late friend Jeff Beck.
The insider revealed further that Johnny’s “ankle is fractured, and his medical team has instructed him not to fly for the foreseeable future.” This would mean that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor will be unable to perform with his band at the three shows scheduled in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York.
