Sir Elton John Joins Forces with Spinal Tap for Revamped ‘Stonehenge’

In an exciting collaboration, music icon Elton John is teaming up with the legendary fictional band Spinal Tap to release a new version of their hit song ‘Stonehenge’. The revamped track will be featured on Spinal Tap’s upcoming album, ‘The End Continues’, as well as on the soundtrack for the sequel to the popular 1984 mockumentary ‘This Is Spinal Tap’.

Originally portrayed by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, Spinal Tap captured audiences with their satirical take on heavy metal music. Now, over four decades later, the band is making a comeback with a new film and album that are sure to delight fans old and new.

The new recording of ‘Stonehenge’, released on July 31, gives a fresh twist to the iconic track that first appeared on Spinal Tap’s debut album. The accompanying music video features Elton John taking the stage to deliver a captivating performance, adding his unique flair to the timeless song.

In the upcoming movie, ‘Spinal Tap II: The End Continues’, the band members reunite for a final concert, with the original mockumentary director Rob Reiner returning to capture the event. The film promises to be a nostalgic journey for fans of the cult classic, blending humour and music in true Spinal Tap style.

Alongside Elton John, the new album will also feature collaborations with other music legends such as Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood. With a scheduled release date of September 12, fans can look forward to a musical treat that coincides with the premiere of the film.

Despite the band’s fictional existence, the members of Spinal Tap recently sat down for an interview with Empire to discuss their enduring friendship and creative partnership. Nigel Tufnel reflected on their past disagreements, stating, “We’ve had arguments over the years and then made up… Arguments, make up, arguments, make up.”

As the anticipation builds for the release of ‘The End Continues’ album and the premiere of ‘Spinal Tap II’, fans can expect a nostalgic trip down memory lane combined with fresh musical collaborations that transcend the boundaries of fiction and reality. With Elton John’s distinctive voice adding a new dimension to the classic ‘Stonehenge’, this collaboration is set to be a standout moment in music history.
