Amber Heard and Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is set to spend New Year's Eve in the Bahamas with friends and family, sparking rumours that he is set to tie the knot.

Steven Tyler, Marilyn Manson, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton are just some of the famous faces that have received an invitation asking them to spend new year with him and fiancee Amber Heard.

The couple announced their engagement earlier this year, and rumours are now circling that they will tie the knot as they ringer in the new year.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Johnny is normally very low key, so the big New Year party came as a surprise. He's invited most of his closest friends and their families to join him on his island. The highlight will be a big party.

"It could be a straightforward bash but friends have wondered if it could be a ruse to have a wedding without a big fuss."

The couple always intended to tie the knot at Amber Beach, but no definite date has ever been set.

Johnny and Amber confirmed their engagement in January after less than two years of dating and threw a party to celebrate their betrothal in March.

Depp was previously in a long-term relationship with Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two children, daughter Lily-Rose, 15, and son Jack, 12.
