Depp jams with Aerosmith as band celebrates 50-year career
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — Actor Johnny Depp and musician Alice Cooper joined Aerosmith on Friday at a gala dinner and performance in Los Angeles to celebrate the band’s 50-year career as one of the best-selling American hard rock bands of all times.
Cooper and Depp — who play with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry in rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires — were among more than a dozen artists including the Foo Fighters, Sammy Hagar and John Legend who sang the band’s biggest hits as it was named the MusiCares person of the year.
Organized by the Recording Academy, the annual MusiCares event raised some $6 million on Friday for health services to members of the music industry.
