Last month, following his victory in his defamation trial against Heard, Johnny confirmed he has teamed up with the legendary guitarist to record a 13-track collection.

The project, titled 18, includes two new Johnny originals and an eclectic mix of cover songs ranging from such iconic artists as the Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye and John Lennon to alternative rockers such as Killing Joke and The Velvet Underground.

‘When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity.

‘We would joke about how we felt 18 again so that just became the album title too,’ Jeff, 77, said in a statement about the album, as reported by Billboard.

His passion: He appeared to give a spirited performance during the rehearsal 

In keeping with their fond teenage memories that were sparked by the music, the two artists decided to use an illustration of themselves as 18-year-olds, drawn by Beck’s wife Sandra, for the album cover.

For Johnny, who grew up listening to Jeff’s music, the collaboration is something of a dream come true.

‘It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother,’ Johnny added in their statement.

The duo first met in 2016, and quickly bonded over conversations about guitars and cars, all while trying to make each other laugh.

Seeing Johnny’s musical talent up-close and sensing their chemistry was undeniable, it was Jeff who suggested they record songs that would eventually make up ’18’.

The Beck-Depp album ’18’ will be released digitally and on CD on July 15, and then be followed up by a vinyl edition on September 30. 

Depp certainly has much to smile about these days, after a judge has denied all of Heard’s motion to have the verdict of her blockbuster defamation trial against him thrown out and the case re-tried.

Lawyers representing Heard – whom Depp was married to from 2015 until 2017 – filed a motion earlier this month on the grounds that the verdict that she had defamed Depp was not supported by evidence.

They also alleged that a juror had not been properly vetted and questioned whether that juror was even supposed to be allowed on the jury.

Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com show that Judge Penny Azcarate denied all of Heard’s post-trial requests on Wednesday.

Both celebrities were found to have defamed each other in the June verdict, but the cards fell considerably in Depp’s favor.

He was awarded $10.35million in damages from Heard, while she was awarded just $2million in damages from Depp. All told, Heard was left owing Depp a whopping $8.35million.
