Johnny Depp will release a second album with his band Hollywood Vampires.
The group, made up of Depp, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Alice Cooper, alongside guitarist Tommy Henriksen, will release Rise in June.
The band was formed in 2015 in honour of pioneering rock stars who died in the 1970s and the new record is made up of mostly original tracks, with Depp taking the helm at songwriting.

It is not known if he will address any of his recent legal disputes in the songs. He has been through a high profile divorce from Amber Heard and legal battles with his former lawyer and ex-managers.
The band’s latest single, Who’s Laughing Now, features the lyrics: “The beast defeat of the east elite gave poisonous treats to the innocent priest, all alone with his tweets, recycled from the pageantry of forever creeps.
“Gallantry guaranteed, chivalry, pig disease, clergy sleaze on their knees, begging please for his own reprieve.”
