Bleecker Street released the trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Begins, the long-awaited sequel film which features cameo appearances from Paul McCartney and Elton John.

Spinal Tap II: The End Begins is a follow-up to the beloved 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap – based on fictional rock band Spinal Tap – starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer portraying the hapless heavy metal trio, all of whom are set to return to the second film.

The sequel picks up with the surviving Spinal Tap members falling on hard times. David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) now plays with a mariachi band, while Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) promotes cryptocurrency, and Nigel Tufnel plays with an Irish pub band.

Filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) follows Spinal Tap on their farewell tour, with the trailer also revealing the last minute venue cancelation that landed them the gig.

Spinal Tap II: The End Begins premieres Sept. 12 in theaters; see the trailer – HERE.
