before taking an emotional pause and adding:The Hollywood actor and late musician were extremely close, and it was only last year that they released an album together titledThis Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr.In a press release at the time of the album's debut, Johnny said: "It's an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother.
Of Johnny, Jeff said: "I haven't had another creative partner like him for ages," adding: "He was a major force on this record. I just hope people will take him seriously as a musician because it's a hard thing for some people to accept that Johnny Depp can sing rock and roll.
