Johnny Depp Rocks London with Alice Cooper in Emotional Ozzy Osbourne Tribute

In a heartfelt and electrifying tribute, Johnny Depp surprised fans by joining Alice Cooper on stage in London last Friday to honor the late Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away earlier this week at 76 after a long battle with health issues, including Parkinson’s. Strumming his guitar with the flair of Captain Jack Sparrow himself—complete with a signature scarf and shades—Depp rocked out to Black Sabbath’s iconic 1970 hit "Paranoid", sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Cooper, donning an Osbourne T-shirt, introduced Depp with a cheeky quip, calling him "some guy we found in the alley talking about vampires," a nod to their shared history in the band The Hollywood Vampires. The performance wasn’t just a one-off; Depp stuck around to belt out Cooper’s classic "School’s Out", keeping the energy high. "Here’s for Ozzy!" Cooper roared, encapsulating the night’s emotional weight.

The timing couldn’t have been more poignant. Osbourne’s death, though anticipated given his struggles, hit the rock world hard. Cooper shared his grief on social media, revealing how the news broke just before a show in Cardiff, Wales, which he dedicated to the Black Sabbath legend. In a touching statement, he called Ozzy a blend of the "Prince of Darkness" and a "court jester," a larger-than-life figure whose humor and showmanship will echo through generations of rock ‘n’ roll.

For fans, seeing Depp—a Hollywood icon returning to the spotlight with his upcoming thriller "Day Drinker" alongside Penélope Cruz—pay homage to a music titan alongside Cooper was a moment of pure magic. It’s a reminder that in the fraternity of rock, loss cuts deep, but the music plays on.
