Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and veteran musician Andrea Bocelli recently performed together in Italy to honor the late Jeff Beck, as reported by TMZ. The duo played “En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor,” a song they first performed in 2020 when Depp and his close friend Jeff Beck visited Bocelli.
During a three-day concert celebrating his 30th anniversary in music, Depp played guitar for Bocelli. According to PEOPLE, Bocelli expressed his gratitude in a press release, stating, “To celebrate the 30th anniversary of my career at Teatro del Silenzio, a place that means so much to me, with artists and friends is an honor. To be able to share this unforgettable event with the world in cinemas is beyond my greatest dreams.”
Jeff Beck passed away in 2023 due to bacterial meningitis. Depp paid tribute to his friend later that year with a special concert. The two had toured together in 2022 during the Amber Heard trial, cementing their deep musical connection and close friendship.
A source told PEOPLE in 2023 that Depp was significantly affected by Beck’s death and was reportedly by his bedside, along with other rock stars, before he passed away. The collaborative studio album “18,” featuring Beck and Depp, was released on July 15, 2022, by Rhino Records. This album stands as Beck’s final studio release before his death in January 2023.
On June 12, it was announced that Bocelli’s concert film, “Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration,” will be released globally in theaters by Fathom this fall. The documentary, which captures the three-day event in July celebrating Bocelli’s 30th anniversary, took place in his hometown of Lajatico, Italy, at the Teatro del Silenzio.
The concert featured performances by classical musicians such as Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Lang Lang, Aida Garifullina, Bryn Terfel, Nadine Sierra, and more. The film, directed by Sam Wrench—who also directed “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”—promises a dreamy cinematic experience.
