'Thank you for understanding, and we WILL be back rocking with you once the world returns to normal!'
Johnny, Alice and Joe formed the Hollywood Vampires in 2012, initially performing cover songs to honor rock stars who died in the 1970s.

Johnny has recently hit the road with Jeff Beck and has teamed up with the legendary guitarist to record a new studio album that's set to drop in July.
The 13-track collection includes two new Depp 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.
The upcoming album, which is slated to be released July 15, is titled 18.
'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.

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 Jeff'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,' Depp 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.
Over the years Jeff began to appreciate Johnny's songwriting abilities, which led to the former Yardbirds guitarist to play on a song, Welcome To Bushwacker, that appeared on the Hollywood Vampires' album Rise (2019).
