Johnny Depp announced the postponement of several tour dates after he suffered from a foot injury.
The 59-year-old took to Instagram Monday to apologize to fans for the cancelation of his upcoming concerts with his band, Hollywood Vampires.
"My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!! It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall it got worse rather than better," Depp began to explain.
Hollywood Vampires includes members Alice Cooper, Tommy Henriksen and Joe Perry.

"Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time."

"Again, sincerest apologies. All my love and respect… J.D. x," the guitarist concluded.
After the concert cancelations, Hollywood Vampires are slated to kick off their tour starting on June 8 in Romania.
Depp’s band previously performed at a Portugal music festival in 2016. At the time, he was initially facing domestic abuse claims from his ex-wife Amber Heard.

When questioned at length by the media for the first time since his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard concluded last year, Depp was quick to answer if he had felt boycotted by the industry that made him a star.
"Did I feel boycotted by Hollywood? Well, you’d have to not have a pulse to feel at that point like this was all just a weird joke," he said during a press conference at Cannes Film Festival to promote his upcoming film "Jeanne du Barry," per The Hollywood Reporter.

"Of course, when you’re asked to resign from a film you’re doing because of something that’s merely a bunch of vowels and consonants floating in the air… Do I feel boycotted now? No, not at all. But I don’t feel boycotted because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t feel much further need for Hollywood — I don’t know about you."

Depp’s appearance comes one year after his six-week trial involving his ex-wife Heard. Depp accused Heard of defaming him in the 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as a domestic abuse survivor.
