Spinal Tap to perform Live Earth set

Mock rock band Spinal Tap will play the Live Earth gig at Wembley on 7 July, reuniting the three actors under director Rob Reiner, with a short film also screened.

Mock rock band Spinal Tap are to play at the Live Earth gig at Wembley on 7 Jul. The three actors Michael McKeen (David St Hubbins), Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnell) and Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls) have been brought together for the appearance by the director of 'This Is Spinal Tap', Rob Reiner. A short ten minute film has also been made, and will be screened at the gig.

Reiner says of the band's appearance: "They're not that environmentally conscious, but they've heard of global warming. Nigel thought it was just because he was wearing too much clothing - that if he just took his jacket off it would be cooler."
