The Hollywood star has been in the news as of late due to his hugely public court case with ex-partner Amber Heard, and court reporter Chanley Shá Painter confirmed Depp had "work commitments" in the UK this week.

In the tweet, Chanley wrote: "A source close to #JohnnyDepp tells me - “Mr. Depp is in the United Kingdom, as he was a few weeks ago, to adhere to his previously scheduled work obligations. AKA @jeffbeckmusic tour."

According to Beck's official website, Johnny and Jeff are "musical soulmates", and "have been working behind-the-scenes for the past several years on new music."

They recently collaborated on a John Lennon song cover, Isolation, which Depp has performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London and Sheffield City Hall.

Tickets for Jeff Beck's tour date in Glasgow are currently sold out, as is the rest of his UK tour.
