Heavy metal legends Spinal Tap have teamed up with Elton John for a re-recording of the band’s classic cut “Stonehenge,” released on Thursday via Interscope Records.
The band also released a music video for the single, confirming the song will appear on The End Continues, the forthcoming album for the mockumentary Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, out on Sept. 12 to coincide with the movie’s theatrical run.
The 13-track set includes nine brand new songs and four reinvented favorites, featuring guests Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood.
A new trailer for the movie, featuring a musical clip of “Stonehenge,” premiered last week at San Diego’s Comic-Con 2025 after Rob Reiner and Paul Feig’s panel “Directors On Directing.” Watch the trailer below.
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues picks up 41 years after the release of 1984’s groundbreaking This Is Spinal Tap, when now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert.
Documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Reiner) returns as well to try to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality. Joined by music royalty like McCartney and John, Spinal Tap wrestles with a checkered past to put on a concert that the band members hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock ’n’ roll.
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues will open in theaters and Imax nationwide in September, following a recent limited theatrical re-release of This Is Spinal Tap, newly restored in 4K resolution.
The original film — directed by Reiner and written, improvised and performed by McKean, Guest, and Shearer — released to critical acclaim and went on to become a cult classic.
