Beck’s website had said the two performers were “musical soulmates” and had been “working behind-the-scenes for the past several years on new music.”
“Johnny and I have been working on music together for a while now and we recorded this track during our time in the studio last year,” Beck had said.
“We weren’t expecting to release it so soon but given all the hard days and true ‘isolation’ that people are going through in these challenging times, we decided now might be the right time to let you all hear it,” he said, noting that the rendition was released toward the start of the coronavirus.
Depp launched the $50 million dollar lawsuit against Heard over an op-ed she published in The Washington Post in 2018 in which she identified herself as an abuse victim, without naming Depp as an alleged abuser.
Heard has countersued for $100 million after a lawyer for Depp branded her abuse allegations a “hoax.”
