“Spinal Tap was getting ready for one of its shows. Paul McCartney was in another room rehearsing, and he happened to walk in one day”: Spinal Tap director Rob Reiner on the real-life encounter that inspired a scene in the highly anticipated sequel

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues – the legendary British metal band attempts a comeback, older, not any wiser but with a point to prove.

The reunion of Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls as their fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues – after a total of 41 years – is no mean feat.

And while the news of the beloved band’s return to the silver screen has set the internet abuzz, the trailer also revealed that the rock (and comedy) spectacle will also include some of the genre's heavy hitters: namely, Paul McCartney and Elton John.
