Depp and Beck have teamed up on various behind-the-scenes projects for several years. Back in 2020, the pair released a cover of John Lennon‘s ‘Isolation’, marking their first official release together.
Following reports they were working on new music together, Depp – who, at the time, was waiting for the verdict in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard – appeared on stage alongside Beck at a gig in Sheffield on May 29, 2021, performing covers of Lennon, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix. The duo then appeared together for the second time at London’s Royal Albert Hall two nights later.
They announced their first collaborative album, ’18’, in June of this year. The artists then went on to release a handful of album cuts as singles – a cover of The Beach Boys‘ ‘Caroline, No’ and one of The Velvet Underground‘s ‘Venus in Furs’.
A third cover single dropped back in July, with Beck and Depp reuniting for a take of ‘The Death And Resurrection Show’ the titular 2003 song by Killing Joke.
Last month, both men were accused of having allegedly stolen lyrics from a 1974 poem, Hobo, by Bruce Jackson, to feature in album cut ‘Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade’.
The poet’s son, Michael Lee Jackson, claimed the current credits on the song “do not reflect the actual authorship of those lyric” and that he was looking into possible legal options.
Spokespeople for Depp and Beck then came forward to say the duo would review the allegations brought against them. “We are reviewing the inquiry relating to the song ‘Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade’ on the ’18’ album by Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp,” they said. “If appropriate, additional copyright credits will be added to all forms of the album.”
