Mock rockers Spinal Tap will reform for a special appearance at the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium on 7th July. They will feature the original line up in an attempt to save the planet from global warming. Lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest) is reported to have said "I don't know much about global warming. I thought it was because I was wearing too much clothing, and if I took some off it would become cooler". A new 15 minute film, charting the lives of the band since they last reunited, will also be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in NY, which is being hosted by Al Gore. The festival will be opened with the showing of several short films about global warming made by the Save Our Selves campaign.
