Paul McCartney has seemingly sided with Johnny Depp as a picture of the Pirates of The Caribbean actor is displayed on a big screen at a recent concert.
As the trial between Depp and his ex-wife, Amber Heard, continues, many tune in on the various channels live-streaming the event as it takes place in Fairfax County, Virginia.
