Mark Knopfler has shared the video for his all-star Guitar Heroes remake of Going Home (Theme From Local Hero), which features the greatest collection of six string talent ever assembled for a single track. The song entered the UK charts today (March 22) at number 18.
Released to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America, the single was recorded by Knopfler with longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher, and wrapped in cover art from Sir Peter Blake, the man behind the iconic sleeves of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album and the Band Aid charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? Guests on the new recording include David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood, Slash, Brian May, Bruce Springsteen, Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Hank Marvin, Joan Jett, Alex Lifeson and Albert Lee, and the song also features the very final recording made by the late, great Jeff Beck.
