People: Depp to join Cooper, Perry for concerts
Johnny Depp is set to perform live with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry as the musical group Hollywood Vampires.
The band on Wednesday announced shows scheduled for Sept. 16 and 17 at The Roxy in West Hollywood, California. Tickets go on sale Friday.
The trio is based off Cooper’s 1970s drinking club, the Hollywood Vampires, which included John Lennon, Harry Nilsson and Micky Dolenz.
The group will release a self-titled album Sept. 11 that includes collaborations with Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, Slash, Brian Johnson and others. Depp plays guitar and sings background on some tracks.
Proceeds from the album will benefit MusiCares, which provides financial and personal assistance to musicians.
‘Orange is New Black’: spoiler alert?
Laura Prepon’s giving away the cliffhanger from the third season finale of “Orange is the New Black” – or is she?
Spoiler alert: Prepon’s character Alex Vause is returning to the Netflix series next season. But beyond that, well, fans will just need to hop on board the streaming train when the fourth season hits in 2016.
“We can’t really say too much,” Prepon said Tuesday at a New York screening of the season finale. “She’s dealing with a lot this year.”
The drug-dealing Litchfield Penitentiary inmate and complicated lover of the show’s lead character Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling) is last seen facing down a drug business associate in the third season’s finale. It’s unknown whether Vause will make it out alive or if she is going to portray herself in the prison show’s many flashbacks.
Prepon, who dropped an earlier hint that Vause would be back in a June Instagram post, said Vause being paranoid during the third season allowed fans to see another side of her.
“Alex will always be very, very cool,” Prepon said. “It’s just always nice when you can see that side to a person.”
