Is Johnny Depp Recovering or Deteriorating?

Johnny Depp has made headlines quite a few times in previous weeks. The beloved actor is best known for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) and has had some recent turbulence in his personal life. Although the year prior was also a struggle for the actor, with the trial including his ex-wife Amber Heard, he has recently been facing health concerns.

As previously reported, the 60-year-old actor was found passed out at a hotel, leading to one of his shows, The Hollywood Vampires, to be canceled. Since then, Depp seems to be doing better and began touring again with the band. More recently, he was spotted in Boston, Massachusetts, for a show, but fans sparked concern when images appeared of him walking with a cane.

This past weekend, Depp performed live with The Hollywood Vampires in Boston, MA. Fans were ecstatic to see the actor after headlines broke he passed out in a Budapest hotel. Furthermore, fans did realize he was having trouble walking at the beginning of the show. “Johnny Depp arrived in Boston Friday using the assistance of a cane ahead of his concert,” Page Six reports. Although Depp was seen as overjoyed to see his fans just as much as they were, it did raise some flags if he was improving.

His initial ankle injury is what lead to canceling a previous show, but the actor wanted to continue on with the tour. Showing his gratitude at the concert gave fans the hope they were looking for that although he may have a bummed ankle, he’s still in good spirits.
