Beatles legend to star in This Is Spinal Tap sequel with filming date confirmed
Beatles' legend Sir Paul McCartney is to star in the sequel to rock comedy This Is Spinal Tap.
Macca, 81, will appear alongside Elton John and Garth Brooks in the follow up to the 1984 movie. The original film followed the fictional heavy metal group Spinal Tap – dubbed “one of England’s loudest bands”. Now director Rob Reiner who made the first movie says he is making a sequel featuring a host of stars.
Reiner said: “We’re making a sequel. We’re going to start shooting at the end of February. “Everybody is back, Paul McCartney is joining and Elton John, and a few other surprises, Garth Brooks.” Discussing the success of the first film, he said: “The only thing that matters is getting people that are good at improvising.”

For years, Reiner has been asked about making a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap, but he and the others have always resisted. He added: “It was only because we started to talk to each other and we came up with an idea we think might work. The bar is incredibly high."
It comes after Paul posted a sweet tribute to his wife Nancy to celebrate their 12-year wedding anniversary last month. The pair have have been married since 2011 and music legend took to Instagram to share a loved-up snap of the couple enjoying some quality time together on holiday to mark their 12th year of marriage.

Last year, Paul revealed his signature dance moves were responsible for his lasting romance with his businesswoman wife Nancy. Writing in his book, The Lyrics, Sir Paul, the Beatles star explained how he knew Nancy was a keeper when she matched his energy on the dancefloor. Paul, who has previously married to Linda McCartney and Heather Mills, wrote: "There’s no denying it, I really enjoy dancing. It’s something my wife Nancy and I are particularly keen on. After a show, when the band and crew get together for a drink, we’re always the first ones on the dancefloor. Certain songs will just get you dancing."
