Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have been arguing in court in Fairfax, Virginia for several weeks: the closing arguments took place on Friday, and the jury is now deliberating.
The jury - five men and two women - have retired to reach their verdict.
Johnny Depp performed at a rock concert at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday.
He had previously played in the northern English city of Sheffield on Sunday with his friend, guitarist Jeff Beck.
In London, the musicians covered various songs, including "Isolation" by John Lennon.
Beck is due to make another appearance at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday.
"Big thank you to Johnny Depp"
The organizers thanked Johnny Depp for his performance.
"Big thank you to Johnny Depp".
They didn't mention his legal battle with Amber Heard.
The Virginia jury hearing the actors' mutual defamation lawsuits adjourned Friday without returning a verdict.
They will resume deliberations this Tuesday after the US holiday Memorial Day.
Heard accused Depp, to whom she was married between 2015 and 2017, of domestic violence in 2016 and applied to the court for a contact ban against her then-husband.
In 2018, the actress described herself as a victim of domestic violence in an article for the Washington Post.
She did not name her ex-husband.
However, Depp's lawyers argue that the newspaper article was a clear allusion to the incident in 2016 and therefore again accuses the actor of violence.
Depp, who firmly denies the allegations, has sued Heard for $50 million in damages.
Heard responded with a counterclaim demanding $100 million.
