Ed Sheeran is facing significant backlash after being photographed with Johnny Depp backstage at Andrea Bocelli’s concert in Tuscany. Depp's controversial past, including a high-profile defamation trial against Amber Heard and a lost libel case in the UK, has led many fans to criticize Sheeran for associating with him. The photo, which also featured Russell Crowe and was posted by Crowe on social media, ignited heated debates with some calling for Sheeran to be canceled. Fans expressed their disappointment and anger, feeling betrayed by Sheeran's actions. Despite the criticism, some social media users praised the photo, calling it iconic and celebrating the gathering of the celebrities.
