Depp Teams Up With Smith And Vedder At Protest Show

Johnny Depp stunned music fans in Arkansas at the weekend (28Aug10) when he joined punk icon Patti Smith and Eddie Vedder onstage at a protest concert.

The movie star musician teamed up with Smith and the Pearl Jam frontman on Dancing Barefoot and then returned to the stage for an all-star rendition of People Have The Power, when he was joined by Ben Harper, Natalie Maines and George Harrison's son Dhani.

The concert was staged to raise awareness about the plight of the West Memphis Three, three young men who were convicted for murders many believe they didn't commit.
