Johnny Depp and his band the Hollywood Vampires have postponed their US tour dates due to an injury.
The group, which also includes superstars Alice Cooper, Tommy Henriksen and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, announced the news via social media on Monday.
“We are sad to share that the Hollywood Vampires will be rescheduling our three US tour dates coming this week,” the post read.
“Johnny has sustained a painful injury to his ankle following his recent appearances and has been advised by his doctor not to travel.”
“He is devastated by this turn of events but looks forward to resting up so all four vampires can bring their absolute best to the tour in Europe.”
The band clarified that all tickets will be transferred for the new dates. The summer shows, originally set for May 30, May 31 and June 1, will now take place about two months later — in Boston, Mass., at the Wang Theater Boch Center on July 28, in Manchester, NH, at the SNHU Arena on July 29 and in Bethel, NY, on July 30 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
The three original US shows were scheduled in the lead-up to their big European tour beginning June 20 at the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, followed by stops in Romania, Turkey, Bulgaria and France.
The Hollywood Vampires formed in 2012 and have released two studio albums, featuring guest appearances by icons such as Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, Zak Starkey and Christopher Lee. The group performed their first live gig at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood on Sept. 16, 2015.
Depp has swiftly made his way back into the public eye since winning his highly publicized defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of physical and emotional abuse.
The Oscar-nominated artist was recently seen in France at the Cannes Film Festival promoting his newest film “Jeanne du Barry.”
While on the red carpet, gawkers online were repulsed by his “rotting teeth” — but Depp has been aware of the development of his unsightly smile for a while.
“I’ve got loads of cavities,” he boasted in a 1995 interview with Premiere magazine. “I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub.”
The “Ed Wood” actor, then 31, claimed he “liked” his flawed smile.
Despite fans believing Johnny Depp’s teeth are “rotting” inside his mouth, celebrity dentist Dr. Apa tells Page Six exclusively that it’s a simple case of “aggressive” wear and tear.
Whether it be his rotting teeth or vampire fangs, American fans will have to wait a little longer to see Depp’s grin on stage.
