Rock Legends Unite: Epic Spinal Tap Tribute Album Featuring Members of Foo Fighters, Tool, and More Set to Raise Funds and Awareness for Teen Cancer America
**September 27, 2025 | Los Angeles, CA** — In a heart-pounding collision of satire, metal, and purpose, the music world is buzzing as an all-star cast of rock legends come together to honor one of the most beloved mockumentary bands of all time—**Spinal Tap**. But this tribute isn’t just turning amps up to eleven for the sake of nostalgia—it’s making real noise for a powerful cause: **Teen Cancer America**.
The **tribute album**, officially titled *“This One Goes to Eleven: A Rock Salute to Spinal Tap”*, is already being hailed as one of the most anticipated charity albums in recent memory. Featuring a powerhouse lineup that includes **Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)**, **Maynard James Keenan (Tool)**, **Jack Black**, **Lzzy Hale (Halestorm)**, and **Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine)**, the record reimagines Spinal Tap’s greatest hits with a fresh, electrifying edge—while preserving the tongue-in-cheek brilliance that made the fictional band a cult phenomenon.
The project was spearheaded by Foo Fighters drummer **Taylor Hawkins’ son, Shane Hawkins**, who has followed in his father’s footsteps as a rising rock drummer and activist. Shane, now 19, said he was inspired to fuse his love of comedy rock with a mission close to his heart: helping teens facing the harsh realities of cancer.
> “I grew up laughing at Spinal Tap and banging on drums,” Shane shared in a press release. “But I’ve also seen friends go through brutal cancer battles at a young age. I thought—why not bring joy, comedy, and music together to make a real difference?”
Teen Cancer America, co-founded by The Who’s **Roger Daltrey** and **Pete Townshend**, aims to bridge the gap between pediatric and adult oncology care. With proceeds from the album and a planned benefit concert set for early 2026 at the Hollywood Bowl, funds will go directly toward building teen-friendly cancer units in hospitals across the U.S.
Among the standout tracks on the album are:
* “Big Bottom” featuring **Jack Black, Flea, and Krist Novoselic** on a triple-bass attack,
* “Stonehenge” reimagined by **Tool** with haunting progressive flair,
* And a thunderous version of “Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight” led by **Dave Grohl and Lzzy Hale**.
Even the surviving members of Spinal Tap—**Michael McKean**, **Christopher Guest**, and **Harry Shearer**—have lent their voices (and comedic chops) to bonus skits woven between tracks, blurring the line between reality and parody one more time.
The album drops **November 11, 2025**, both digitally and on limited-edition vinyl. Pre-orders have already begun, with deluxe bundles including exclusive merch and signed memorabilia.
> “It’s not just a tribute to a fake band,” said Maynard James Keenan. “It’s a tribute to the power of music to heal, unite, and yes—make us laugh even in dark times.”
