Paul McCartney Honors Johnny Depp At Glastonbury Festival

It isn’t only his legendary rock icons “The Hollywood Vampires” that have been supportive of Johnny Depp all through his defamation trial, the “Hey Jude” singer Paul McCartney is also on the list.

On Saturday, June 25, 2022, the “Twist and Shout” singer Paul McCartney, 80, took the stage at the Glastonbury Festival to honor his good friend Johnny Depp while playing the song “My Valentine.” And, according to The Daily Mail Paul projected a black and white video featuring Johnny in the song’s music video while he hummed and strummed to the tune.

The set choice came across as a message of support to Johnny shortly following his successful defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Paul McCartney — On Raiford Dalton Palmer Opinion

Early this month, the jury issued a verdict in which Depp was awarded 10 million dollars, a fee his ex-wife Amber Heard is to pay him for being guilty of defaming him. However, Amber has since then appealed the verdict, something which divorce attorney Raiford Dalton Palmer agrees with in this situation – with a word of caution.

After Amber Heard appealed the verdict, divorce attorney Raiford Dalton Palmer exclusively told HollywoodLife that it’s reasonable that Heard appealed and that if she went on with the appeal, the chances of her settling Depp will be over.

“Appealing now makes sense. Her chance of success on appeal is a long shot. If she pushes the appeal, any chance of settlement will likely disappear. But if Heard is playing smart, the appeal will buy time and better position her for a settlement with Depp. Any deal would include a confidentiality agreement and a non-disparagement provision with a liquidated damages clause to keep her from repeating the defamatory statements and any other negative statements about Depp. He would buy her silence by releasing part or all of the judgment in my opinion,” he told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY.

Paul McCartney — Reactions After Paul Displayed Depp’s Reel

I think Paul saw no need in addressing the defamation trial even when almost everything in the media coverage was about it. Nevertheless, it didn’t stop the crowd from cheering at the sight of Depp once the footage appeared onstage.

The reel was actually the same reel that Paul used during his recent Get Back Tour before the trial’s verdict was determined. The footage is that of when the Edward Scissorhands star with Natalie Portman while he plays guitar and translates the lyrics into sign language.

In other exciting news, this performance qualifies Paul as the oldest headliner in history at the festival and his first appearance at the venue since 2004.

The former Beatles member honored the late John Lennon and performed with George Harrison‘s ukulele. he also brought legendary rocker Dave Grohl on stage to perform multiple songs, including the hit “Band On The Run.” Paul then introduced none other than Bruce Springsteen to the stage so they could both rock out to the hit “Glory Days” together.
