Johnny Depp says he's 'sorry' to cancel shows as doctor warns him not to fly
Johnny Depp has been forced to postpone a slate of his upcoming tour dates due to an injured ankle.
On May 30, May 31 and June 1, the 59 year old was set to head to Manchester, NH, Boston and Bethel, NY, with his band The Hollywood Vampires, comprised of Depp, Alice Cooper and Aerosmith's Joe Perry.
However, fans at those locations will have to wait a bit longer to see them as Hollywood actor Johnny has been ordered to take it easy following an injury to his lower body.
On Monday, Depp told his Instagram followers: “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.
