When Johnny Depp's band, the Hollywood Vampires, took the stage for a 19-song set at Boston's Wang Theatre on July 29, the fact that they were actually playing a scheduled show on the tour was surprising. In May, the group — which also features legendary rock stars Alice Cooper and Joe Perry — had to reschedule multiple shows after the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 60, injured his ankle. Then on July 18, just minutes before the Hollywood Vampires were set to perform in a Budapest sports arena, that show was canceled.
The reason cited was that Johnny was "unwell." A week later, a performance in Slovakia was also nixed the day of (though this time an "unsafe venue" was the cited cause).
All the cancellations, not to mention recent sightings of Johnny hobbling around the Boston area using a cane, have friends and fans alike worried that hard living is seriously hurting the notorious bad boy. "Johnny's pals fear his partying is once again catching up to him," an insider exclusively tells Life & Style.
"Some claim his boozing has gotten so bad that they want to stage an intervention."
Multiple reports claim the Budapest show was canceled at the last minute because Johnny had passed out in his hotel room and a doctor had to be called.
