Jeanne du Barry, Johnny Depp's latest outing recently received a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. The actor, who was supposed to go on a number of tours, is now postponing the same, due to an injured ankle. 

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor was set to head to Manchester, New Hampshire, Boston and Bethel, New York on May 30, 31 and June 1, with his band The Hollywood Vampires. The band comprises Depp, Alice Cooper and Aerosmith's Joe Perry. However, the tour has been postponed as Johnny's doctor has advised him to take it easy.

Depp recently 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. Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time".

His statement further mentioned, quoted by, "To that end, the guys and I are very sorry to miss you in New Hampshire, Boston and New York but fear not, I promise we will bring an amazing show to all of you in Europe and bring our absolute best to the East Coast later this summer and make it up to those who have paid for those shows!!! Again, sincerest apologies. All my love and respect, JD x".
