Cancelled Hollywood Vampires concert: Johnny Depp returns to Hungary!

The Hollywood Vampires (Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry) would have performed in Budapest last week but cancelled the event. According to media information, they did so because Depp was unwell and passed out before the concert. The Hungarian organisers hoped they can establish a new show later.

No concert, no clear explanation

As we reported before, the band would have performed in Budapest’s Papp László Sport Arena, but the band cancelled the concert because Johnny Depp passed out so badly that a doctor had to be called to his hotel room. The last minute call-off generated anger since the arena was full with fans who paid tremendous money for the show.

“Everything was set, the stage was set, and the backstage crew was ready for the party. It didn’t even occur to me that there could be a problem, especially as the band members had done the sound set-up that had been scheduled for the afternoon. No one thought any more about the fact that Johnny Depp didn’t take part, his microphone was set up by a staff member, but that’s not unusual for such stars,” an usher told Blikk.

Later, they cancelled their concert in Slovakia. According to the announcement by the band, the venue was unfit for them to perform. The trend broke in Poland, where they stood on stage two days later. Furthermore, the manager promised they would finish their European tour and go to Germany. And they did so. Below, you may check out some photos from Wolfsburg. They are in the USA, continuing their tour today in Bethel, New York. HERE is today’s venue.

Johnny Depp comes back to Budapest this autumn

The Hungarian organisers wrote after the last-minute call-off that they would like the band to perform in Budapest on another date. Therefore, they did not give back the money for the ticket. However, according to Blikk, they could not find a suitable date. Thus, ticket holders received an email about the unsuccessful talks with the management and the information about ticket refund.

That is not surprising. Blikk writes that all band members have a busy schedule making it impossible to return to Budapest in the next few years. But that is not true for Johnny Depp. He will come to the Hungarian capital this autumn, provided the strike of Hollywood ends until then. Based on the plans, he will start a movie shooting in Budapest. Meanwhile, Joe Perry will go on an Aerosmith tour, while Alice Cooper is to start solo concerts in August.
