Johnny Depp’s Cash Crunch Bangs Up His Vampire Band

Johnny Depp, struggling under financial pressures from his profligate spending, may have to stake a break from his rocking side-project with the Hollywood Vampires!

But an insider said it’s for the best because the supergroup — which features dinosaur rocker Alice Cooper and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry — really sucks!

To start paying off his mounting debts, Johnny, 54, needs to focus on film projects and close the coffin on the Vampires. “This last tour managed to turn a small profit, mostly because people wanted to see Johnny post-divorce,” a source told The National ENQUIRER. “He has to stop bleeding money — and start earning some!”

Johnny’s money woes weren’t the band’s only problem, said our source. “They sound terrible,” the insider explained. “Audiences are shocked at how incompetent they are!”
