Sam Fender appeared to be worse for wear as he stepped out of a Newcastle pub with a drink in hand after socialising with Johnny Depp on Wednesday.
American actor Johnny, 58, was spotted in The Bridge Tavern on Newcastle's Quayside just hours before it was announced he won his high profile defamation case with ex Amber Heard.
He was joined by North Shields born singer Sam, 28, and guitarist Jeff Beck as they enjoyed drinks in the beer garden, before Johnny was later sighted in Newcastle's Jam Jar bar.

And after the boozy night, Sam looked bleary-eyed as he staggered out of a bar in the city with a pint in one hand and held his thumb in the air.
The Spit Of You songwriter cut a casual figure in a beige shirt with a black collar and navy trousers, which he teamed with a pair of chunky boots.
He styled his brown locks in a natural tussled style and opted for a clean-shaven look for his fun-filled evening at the pub.
Earlier in the night, Sam was spotted with Johnny at The Bridge Tavern, as the actor walked through the pub's beer garden and smiling at punters, and shaking some of their hands.

It came just hours before Johnny was awarded more than $10million after winning his defamation trial, vindicating his stance that his ex-wife Amber fabricated claims that she was abused by the Hollywood star before and during their brief marriage.
And Johnny appeared to be in a celebratory mood as he enjoyed a night out on Tyneside after the conclusion to the high-profile, months-long trial.
Johnny, who was joined by Jeff Beck - who he spent three nights performing with, was spotted wearing blue sunglasses and a cap, with a brown jacket and green trousers.
A punter was heard shouting 'love you Johnny' and he was later seen in a video posted to Instagram, in the same outfit, signing a statement and eager fans took to Twitter to share their amazement after spotting the group at the pub.

'For anyone interested... Johnny Depp and Sam Fender (have) just been seen in The Bridge Tavern pub on Newcastle Quayside,' one user said, paired with a video that showed Johnny waving and shaking hands of fans as he exits the pub's garden.
'Met Johnny Depp in Bridge Tavern Newcastle just now... that was quite surreal,' another wrote, attaching a photo of him walking down some stairs at the pub.
Speaking to Chronicle Live on Wednesday, the manager of The Bridge Tavern said Johnny was 'incredible,' and was at first given a private space in the establishment when he arrived at around 5pm - three hours before the verdict was announced.
