Billie Eilish has referenced Johnny Depp in an as-of-yet unreleased song which she performed to fans during her UK tour.

The track had lyrics which appeared to reference recent happenings in the US, including the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s multi-million dollar defamation trial against former partner Amber Heard.

“The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial, while they’re overturning Roe v Wade,” Eilish sang, also referencing the abortion rights battle in America.

The 20-year-old singer used her Manchester show to debut the new song, TV, with her brother and co-writer Finneas O’Connell at the city’s AO Arena.

The pair sat on two stools while Finneas played the acoustic guitar for the slow and melancholic song.

“This is one we just wrote, and we just wanted to play for you,” she told the crowd in a video posted on social media.

It is her first performance in England since she played Reading festival in 2019.

She is also set to take a headline slot at this year’s Glastonbury festival later this month.
