The charity has just released “The Majesty of Rock,” a tribute album to “Spinal Tap.” The album celebrates the mock band with contributions from legendary artists. Charity co-founders are Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who. The album features a sleeve note by Roger.
The hilarious mockumentary film, “Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues,” is in theatres now. It’s the first sequel release forty-one years after the original, “This is Spinal Tap.”
“The Majesty of Rock, A Spinal Tap Tribute for Teen Cancer America,” features thirty-two tracks inspired by the movie. Legendary artists cover the songs on the digital album.
Shannon Sullivan, Executive Director, shared, “The spirit of Spinal Tap has always been about turning it up to eleven. That’s exactly what we aim to do for young people with cancer. This tribute album is a fun, powerful way to raise funds and awareness for the unique challenges facing this age group. We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant artists who have lent their talents to this project. Thanks to the creators of Spinal Tap for allowing us to celebrate their genius for a cause that is so important.”
