Johnny Depp cancels all appearances amid 'devastating' news: read statement
The Jeanne Du Barry star is unable to travel
Johnny Depp has been a busy man, traveling to Cannes and London to promote his new project , alongside touring with his band Hollywood Vampires, but he has had to cancel all his upcoming appearances due to a debilitating injury.
The actor, who is currently promoting his latest film around the world, took to Instagram to share the disappointing news he's had to cancel the upcoming dates on his tour, explaining his reasoning for pulling out of his planned dates with Hollywood Vampires.
"My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag," he began. "It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and The Albert Hall, it got worse rather than better.
"Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at the time," he continued.
"To that end, the guys and I are very sorry to miss you in Boston, New Hampshire and New York, but fear not, I promise we will bring an amazing show to all of you in Europe and bring our absolute best to the East Coast later this summer and make it up to those who have paid for those shows!
