Johnny Depp performs with band Hollywood Vampires amid calls for boycott following Amber Heard abuse claims

Johnny Depp performed with band Hollywood Vampires over the weekend despite calls to boycott the tour.

The Hollywood A-lister played alongside Alice Cooper and Joe Perry in Stockholm on Monday night following their gig in Germany on Sunday.

Despite calls on organisers to cancel Monday’s concert amid Amber Heard’s abuse claims, Grona Lund Amusement Park venue supported their decision to host the event by saying that Depp was innocent until proven guilty.

A number of comments on the venue’s official Facebook page called for them to cancel the gig ahead of the show, with one person writing: “'Are you taking a stand against this, Gröna Lund?”

Another posted: “I hope that as many as possible do the right thing and boycott this.”

Fans and supporters of actress Heard have called on ticket holders to boycott the supergroup’s European tour in the wake of allegations that Depp had been physically abuse to his estranged wife.

In papers filed with the Los Angeles Superior County Court, Heard, 30, said Depp threw a mobile phone at her at their Los Angeles penthouse last Saturday, striking her cheek and eye.

She claimed Depp had a "history of drug and alcohol abuse", and been "verbally and physically abusive" during their 15-month marriage.

Los Angeles police said they attended Depp and Heard's property on May 21 but were asked by the person reporting domestic violence not to take a report.

While Depp is yet to officially comment on the claims, his daughter Lily Rose and a number of his friends have spoken out in his defence.

On Monday, his 17-year-old daughter wrote on Instagram: “My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same."
