Johnny Depp is “devastated” by an injury that has caused a change of events in his band’s touring schedule.
The Hollywood actor revealed Monday morning that he “fractured [his] ankle” in a post shared to his Instagram Story, prompting his group, The Hollywood Vampires, to reschedule some tour dates.
“My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!! It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall it got worse rather than better,” he wrote. “Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so [I] am sadly unable to travel at this time.

Depp recently made his movie “comeback” by debuting his French-language film “Jeanne du Barry” at the Cannes Film Festival, where he shared during a press conference that he does “not” feel boycotted by Hollywood after his highly publicized legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard.
He also said that he “keeps wondering about the word comeback because I didn’t go anywhere.
“As a matter of fact, I live about 45 minutes away. So yeah, maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time,” he said, “But no, I didn’t go nowhere. I’ve been sitting around.”
