Johnny Depp got mobbed by his fans, who sang him "Happy Birthday" as he signed autographs.

Depp's fans in Northern England gathered on the final night of his tour with British guitarist Jeff Beck. He was spotted signing autographs and posing for photos outside the York Barbican theater in York after the show Wednesday night, Fox News reported.

The outlet noted that Depp's sighting with the fans happened before he got on the tour bus just before midnight. One fan shared a video of Depp during the outing in which the crowd can be heard singing "Happy Birthday" while many took their phones to capture a photo or video of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star.

"Fans sing 'Happy Birthday' to Johnny Depp in York after his performance with Jeff Beck. Happy birthday to Johnny as he celebrates a new chapter in his life (credit to owner) #JohnnyDepp #HappyBirthdayJohnnyDepp," the fan wrote.

Several greeted Depp on social media to let him know they remembered him on his special day.

"With his versatile acting skills and a wide range of iconic portrayals of characters, Johnny Depp has aced every role. We wish him a very Happy Birthday! May he have a great year ahead," Movies Now tweeted.

"He's in the news now more than ever. Happy birthday Johnny Depp!" t2 wrote.

"My heart just leapt out of my chest when I saw this in Scotland's The Herald paper 9 June issue. #HappyBirthdayJohnnyDepp #PositivityforJohnnyDepp," a different netizen added.

Depp turns 59 on Thursday. His birthday comes a week after his big win in his defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

The jury sided with Depp that Heard's 2018 Washington Post op-ed defamed him. The jury awarded him $10.35 million in damages. Heard was also awarded $2 million after she partially won in her countersuit.

On Tuesday, Depp made his debut on TikTok and thanked his fans for their support. He also urged them to "move forward together."

"To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We've been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together," Depp wrote.

"You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you. My love & respect, JD."
