Hollywood icon Johnny Depp thrilled fans with his guitar work, when he caught up with old mates from rock band The Kid at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach.
The occasion was for the Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert in memory of Ms Witkin, a catalyst supporter of rock music in South Florida.
Fans were kept waiting until after midnight today to find out whether Depp could keep up with the Kids' guitar-centred power pop - and he impressed amid screams from the packed floor.
