Johnny Depp has appeared on stage alongside Jeff Beck in the UK for the second night in a row, amid his ongoing US legal battle.
The actor appeared at the Royal Albert Hall in west London on Monday night after performing with Beck at Sheffield City Hall on Sunday.
They performed their cover of the John Lennon song Isolation, which they previously released in 2020.
Depp fans took to Instagram and Twitter to share their views of the American actor's performance on stage, but amid the online furore, some concert-goers were less than impressed.
"I felt duped. Totally 100% duped. I had been waiting fifty years to see Jeff Beck live... this was the biggest letdown of my life," Peter Schmidt, who had come from Frankfurt to London for the concert with his family, told Reuters outside the London venue.
"(Depp) took over the show, he shouldn't have been there. He is an embarrassment... I went to see Jeff Beck tonight, not a Hollywood star."
Angela Flannery was also at the gig on Monday night. She told the PA news agency: "I was pretty shocked."
"(I have) always been a massive fan of his. My other half took me to this gig just to see Jeff Beck, I had no idea Johnny would be playing.
"It was brilliant, such a fantastic night in general… a special mention to the drummer girl, she was absolutely amazing (and) Johnny Depp smashed it.
"I'll die happy (that) I’ve been in the same room as him now."
Depp’s appearances in the UK have surprised many as he awaits a verdict in his multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor is suing his former partner over a 2018 article she wrote in The Washington Post, which was titled: "I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change."
The article does not mention Depp by name, yet his lawyers say it falsely implies he physically and sexually abused the Aquaman actress while they were together.
On Friday both sides gave their closing statements, urging jurors to consider other victims of domestic abuse.
The jury is now deliberating on the case, which began on 11 April and involved six weeks of evidence.
