Johnny Depp And The Kids To Reunite

Johnny Depp is reportedly set to reunite with his old band.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor is to play two concerts on August 29 and 30 at the Club Cinema in Pompano Beach, Florida, with The Kids. Johnny last performed with the band at the same venue in January last year, as part of the first Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert – the same fundraiser he is expected to rejoin them for next week.

The star is known for his musical talents and has previously recorded a solo album and played slide guitar on Oasis song 'Fade In-Out’, which appeared on the band’s third studio album 'Be Here Now’. It was recently revealed that Johnny, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have donated their earnings from new movie 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus' to Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda.

The actors - who replaced Heath following his death from an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January - wanted to give their money to Heath's two-year-old child with actress Michelle Williams to ensure she has a secure future.

The movie's director Terry Gilliam said: "The three actors were totally heroic coming in. This doesn't happen very often - where there's a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, 'OK, we'll do whatever it takes to help.'

"They came, they did the work, they allowed the movie to be finished, they didn't take money - the money goes to Heath's daughter. That's extraordinary!'"

Heath hadn't changed his will to include her yet, so legally she gets nothing of her father's fortune and no Dark Knight money. That is why the other actors donated to her.

This is music news. Johnny Depp's band is getting together. The rest is just details

wow. that's one of the most generous things i've ever heard of a celebrity doing. it's not usual for these kinds of people to be willing to donate the millions they make off their hard work. they got my respect.

is there anything Johnny Depp cant do?

well yes there is: cure cancer, save the whales, invent an alternative energy source to replace oil.

But I guess these are some things that he can add to his to-do list. Johnny Depp needs a massive statue and/or religion so we can worship him.

First of all, Depp could cure cancer if he wanted to. Secondly, nobody likes whales anyway, and thirdly of all, he did inspire a form of alternate energy. I don't know about you, but after PoTC, I started living on a pirate ship just sailing all the time, which DOES NOT USE OIL.

...I rest my case

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I despise Johnny Depp. He's a good actor and all, but one of the most over-rated people ever. That was a nice thing of him to do though.

He was great in Fear And Loathing and Blow, but the Pirates movies are totally lame, and that's the main reason I don't like the guy anymore. His acting is still pretty good, but the Pirates movies are poorly written, full of useless scenes, over-rated, and lame.

[radioplay]
