“Johnny Depp came onboard to work with me because he’s a friend of Ringo and Zack and he was very instrumental and said he’d love to help. He recorded himself and plays the guitar really well.
“When he was younger Johnny wanted to be a musician before he wanted to be an actor so, when we asked him he said no problem I’ll do this.”
Proceeds from the song, called Fatima’s UK Campaign, will go to help young people in care.
It means Fatima is throwing her weight behind Johnny despite the drama in his personal life over recent years.
