Johnny Depp wants The Rolling Stones to play at his wedding, it has been claimed.

The 50-year-old actor proposed to girlfriend Amber Heard - whom he met on the set of their film The Rum Diary in 2011 - on Christmas Eve and though they haven't set a date for their nuptials yet, he has asked his friend and Pirates of the Caribbean co-star Keith Richards if he and his band will provide some music.

"The wedding plans are at an early stage. But the one thing Johnny does know is he wants Keith and the guys there He might even ask to join them on a track or two," a source said.

Johnny is known to be an excellent guitar player and previously teamed up with Marilyn Manson for a version of Carly Simon's 1972 hit "You're So Vain" for Manson's album Born Villain.

The actor also provided slide guitar on the Oasis track "Fade In-Out" on their 1997 album Be Here Now after being invited to play on the LP by Noel Gallagher, whom he was close friends with at the time due to their respective relationships with Kate Moss and Meg Mathews.

It was recently claimed Johnny and Amber, 27, are planning on having an intimate wedding on the Hollywood star's private beach in the Bahamas. "They're having a small intimate ceremony barefoot on the beach in Little Hall's Pond Cay. Afterwards they'll have a barbecue where some of Johnny's musician pals are going to perform, followed by limbo dancing. Neither Johnny nor Amber want a big, glitzy Hollywood bash. They are both very private," a source said.
