How many rock bands lose their drummer to a sneeze? Spinal Tap just did, and that is how their story picks up in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. The group reunites for a huge concert in New Orleans, but things spiral when their manager suggests that for the show to be legendary, one or two of them should die. Only Spinal Tap could make death sound like part of the setlist.
The mood swings between ridiculous and serious, like a band trying to laugh through its own chaos. There is a rush in seeing the band back together, plotting one last shot at glory while searching for a new drummer. The absurdity lands perfectly, yet there is a strange sense that this might actually be their most meaningful concert ever.

Fans cannot get enough of it. One comment read, “Only Spinal Tap could turn tragedy into a marketing plan,” while another said, “The drummer curse lives on.” People are sharing clips, making memes, and counting down to see how far the madness will go. For a fictional band, they have never felt more real.
That same chaotic spirit carries into their performance of Stonehenge, which has become one of their most iconic numbers. This time, they turn it into a full spectacle with Elton John on piano. It feels like the band has decided to lean all the way into the myth of Spinal Tap and make it even bigger.

The performance is pure theater: lyrics about Druids, moonlit rituals and children dancing turn into a mix of comedy and mysticism. Elton John’s piano gives the song a strange, grand weight, and fans loved it. One wrote, “This belongs in an opera house” while another said, “Only Spinal Tap could make Stonehenge rock this hard.”
Spinal Tap have always made music that is as ridiculous as it is memorable, and that is their magic. They can make you laugh and still leave you singing along. This reunion feels like their chance to outdo everything they have done before. Follow Spinal Tap on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. You will not want to miss what comes next.
