Elton John and Spin̈al Tap have joined forces on a new version of the band’s song Stonehenge – and have finally corrected one of the great scenery-based mishaps in classic rock.
The song, performed in the 1984 rock-mockumentary This Is Spin̈al Tap, is at the heart of one of the film’s most cherished scenes: when the band, having made a mistake when commissioning an 18ft Stonehenge stage prop, have to make do with an 18in version being lowered from the rafters. After some hired dwarves caper around it, the band’s David St Hubbins complains that they looked likely to crush it underfoot.
No such problems with the new version
