Actor-turned-musician Johnny is currently on a European tour with the American supergroup, which also features guitarist Joe Perry.

The tour has continued in the light of allegations made against Johnny by his wife Amber, by which he is accused of throwing a mobile phone at her head, which prompted her to file for divorce.

The latest development came on Wednesday when People magazine published new pictures of Amber's alleged injuries, including a bloodied lip and bruising on her face.

Amber also broke her silence to accuse his lawyers of smearing her and saying she was 'a hero' who was simply a victim of domestic abuse.

A statement made by her lawyers followed claims that Depp would not face prosecution because she had not made a statement to police straightaway.

Lawyers for Amber said she had not given a statement to police before now because she had wanted to keep the matter private - and accused Depp of using her silence against her to try to claim he was innocent. 

The lawyers then accused Depp's legal team of planting vicious smears while they had tried, they claimed, to keep the matter out of the media. 

Depp has strongly denied allegations he hurt his wife while TMZ also claimed that LAPD did not find evidence of an assault.  

'We don't know how she obtained that,' said an L.A. Police Department source quoted on website TMZ, referring to a bruise on Heard's face that she claimed was caused by Depp hitting her with his phone. 'There was no evidence of any crime.'

LAPD Officer Drake Madison confirmed police had responded to a 'domestic incident radio call' at the home on May 21, but that there was no ongoing investigation.

'The person reporting the crime did not insist on a report and no report was warranted. A crime did not occur so the officers left the scene and left a business card,' he told the website.  

Meanwhile, two members of Depp's security team claim the actor was six metres away from Heard when she screamed for him to stop hitting her.

Jerry Judge and Sean Bett, both members of Depp's security detail, were allegedly standing in the entrance to the couple's home when Heard's screams reached them.

They say they entered the room 'within a second', according to TMZ, and saw Depp in the kitchen and Heard on the sofa in the living room. 

In court documents, Heard alleges she 'lived in fear' of Depp during their 15-month marriage and constantly worried he could return to their LA condo to 'terrorise me physically and emotionally.

Johnny left Sweden after his last gig in a blaze of publicity, signing autographs, posing for selfies and grinning at the crowd and pictures showed the star appearing to celebrate the news until 2am on Monday night.

He looked relaxed as he drank cocktails, laughed with friends and chatted with the stunning female friend at a £8,000-a-night hotel.

Depp and his entourage had the bar at the city's Grand Hotel opened specially after closing time, following a sell-out gig with Depp's band The Hollywood Vampires.

The 52-year-old star, who has been hiding out in his room for much of the band's European tour so far, emerged from his top-floor suite at 1am.  

The bar at the Grand Hotel was closing and other guests were leaving when Depp arrived, but staff re-opened especially for the star and his party.

They stayed for an hour, with Depp and the mystery woman, who was joined by two friends, standing close together and talking intimately at the bar.

An observer said: 'The brunette in the picture was embracing Johnny's shoulder when he talked to members of the band. 

'They stood really close and talked for a long time at the bar. They seemed to have a good time. She was standing next to him the whole time I saw him at the bar. The brunette was there with a couple of friends, but Johnny only talked to her. He seemed to enjoy her company.' 

Security around the Alice in Wonderland actor has been ramped up, with eight bodyguards accompanying him as he arrived in the country ahead of the band's performance at Stockholm's Gröna Lund amusement park. 

Security guards were overheard in the hotel lobby saying 'we've got to protect Johnny at all costs', and deciding he should use the same entrance as Justin Timberlake when he visited earlier this month.

Heard filed a domestic violence restraining order at the Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles on Friday, along with lawyer Samantha Spector.

In court documents, she claimed Depp's 'long-held and widely-acknowledged public and private history of drug and alcohol abuse' gave him a 'short fuse'.

She added he 'is often paranoid and his temper is exceptionally scary for me', and that she was the victim of multiple domestic incidents during their marriage.

Heard was pictured laughing and smiling with her neighbour and friend of 13 years Raquel Pennington in L.A. on Saturday evening, following a four-hour meeting with Heard's lawyer. 

Pennington has also filed court documents in support of Heard's statement, claiming Heard texted her for help on the night of May 21. 

According to their statements, Pennington used her own body to shield Heard from Depp's attack as he used a wine bottle to smash personal items of Heard's.

In the days following the alleged attack, Heard was pictured with a bruise on her face that she claimed had been caused by Depp throwing his iPhone at her. 

But friends and family of Depp continue to come to his defence - including his daughter Lily-Rose and ex-wife Vanessa Paradis.

'My dad is the sweetest and most loving person I know, he's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same,' wrote the 17-year-old on Instagram.  

To accompany her defiant message, she posted a touching photograph of herself as a toddler holding hands with a youthful looking Depp.

It was on Lily-Rose's 17th birthday, on Friday, that her father became headline news after Heard filed for divorce citing abuse.

French actress Paradis has also insisted the actor is 'sensitive and loving' and dismissed the domestic violence claims in a note obtained by TMZ.

'In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years'.  

A representative for Depp, who denies the allegations, said in a statement on Thursday: 'Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life.

'Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.'
