Johnny Depp is forced to postpone tour with The Hollywood Vampires after ... trends now

Johnny Depp, who is a member of the group Hollywood Vampires, is postponing the American leg of his band's upcoming tour due to a painful, lower-body injury. 

After tweaking his ankle while promoting his film, Jeanne Du Barry, at the Cannes Film Festival, earlier this month, a source revealed to TMZ that the 59-year-old actor 'stressed it further while trying to power through' at tribute show for his late friend Jeff Beck.

An insider divulged to the publication that the father-of-two's 'ankle is fractured and his medical team has instructed him not to fly for the foreseeable future.'

This means the Edward Scissorhands actor is unable to perform at the Hollywood Vampires' next three shows, scheduled for New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New York, in June.

On Monday, Depp and his bandmates, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, confirmed the news that they have to reschedule their first three U.S tour dates on their Instagram account.

'We are sad to share that the Hollywood Vampires will be rescheduling our three US tour dates this coming week,' the band revealed in their post.

They continued: 'Johnny has sustained a painful injury to his ankle following his recent appearances and has been advised by his doctor not to travel.'

'He is devastated by this turn of events, but looks forward to resting up so all four Vampires can bring their absolute best to the tour in Europe,' the group continued.

Johnny previously toured with Beck and recorded an album with the legendary guitarist, who died, at the age of 78, after contracting bacterial meningitis.
