Johnny Depp showed fans his musical side at a New York show with the Hollywood Vampires. They played a cover of Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ that’s getting tons of attention online.
The video has picked up hundreds of thousands of views in just a few days. It’s clear a lot of people were impressed.
Depp stepped up to the mic looking a lot like Jack Sparrow and handled the spotlight like he’s been doing it forever. His vocals were rough and full of energy, and they actually worked really well for the song.
The YouTube comments lit up fast after the performance. One fan said: “Bowie would be proud. Johnny’s voice really works with this song.” Another called him “smooth, sexy, powerful and talented.”
People kept pointing out how much he looked and acted like Jack Sparrow. One viewer said: “So basically Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow in real life.”
The band, which includes Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, has done the song before. A video shows them recording it in the studio, and Depp looks completely in his element there too.
Even if someone didn’t know Depp could sing, this would probably surprise them. Covering a Bowie track isn’t easy, but they pulled it off and made it look fun.
