Che Johnny Depp sia possessore di un animo profondamente rock lo abbiamo sempre saputo: lo ha infatti già dimostrato in diverse occasioni, ultima (non per importanza) la comparsata dell’attore sul palco di Marilyn Manson durante un suo concerto.

Tra passione per la chitarra, superalcolici e belle donne, la carriera da musicista di Depp sembrava proprio ad un passo… E oggi, finalmente, pare anche diventare realtà. Dopo varie collaborazioni con alcuni degli artisti più famosi del mondo, tra cui Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers e Sex Pistols, l’attore ha messo in piedi un supergruppo degno di nota: Depp infatti suonerà con Alice Cooper e Joe Perry (chitarrista degli Aerosmith.)

Gli Hollywood Vampires, questo è il nome della band, debutteranno inoltre con i fuochi d’artificio: il trio è infatti atteso sul main stage del Rock In Rio, condividendo il palco con i System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age ed i Faith No More.

Hell yeah!
Qui di seguito l’annuncio ufficiale di Alice Cooper.
