SPINAL TAP LEGEND MICHAEL MCKEAN, 77, STEALS THE SHOW WITH HIS WIFE ANNETTE O'TOOLE AT A CAR WASH IN LOS ANGELES!

The beloved star of the iconic mockumentary comedy film This Is Spinal Tap, Michael McKean, was spotted on a rare outing with his stunning wife Annette O'Toole in Los Angeles last week. The two were seen strolling hand-in-hand by a car wash, looking effortlessly chic and casual, as if they just stepped out of a Hollywood premiere.

But what caught our attention is not only the adorable couple's chemistry but also their impressive careers! McKean, 77, has been gracing our screens for decades with his incredible talent. From his breakout role in the classic sitcom Laverne & Shirley to his memorable appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Veep, and even The Diplomat, this comedy legend has proven that he still has what it takes.

Meanwhile, Annette O'Toole has been a talented actress in her own right. With roles in Superman III (1983) and 48 Hrs., she's shown off her range and versatility as an artist. But did you know that McKean and O'Toole tied the knot in 1999? They've been married for 26 years now, making them one of Hollywood's most enduring couples!

A SPINAL TAP SEQUEL IS FINALLY ON ITS WAY!

In other exciting news, a long-awaited sequel to This Is Spinal Tap is finally hitting theaters later this year. And we have the scoop! The new film, titled Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, promises to be just as hilarious and outrageous as its predecessor.

Rob Reiner, who directed the original cult classic in 1984, will once again take the reins for this much-anticipated sequel. McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer will reprise their iconic roles as the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap. But that's not all! The film will feature a star-studded lineup of cameos from Elton John, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Chad Smith, and more!

A DEATH-DEFYING DRUMMER MYSTERY

In the newly released trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, we catch a glimpse into the band's reunion plans. But what really caught our attention was their search for a new drummer. "He sneezed himself into oblivion," one of the band members quips nonchalantly.

Uh, is that medically possible? We're dying to know! And it seems like the tour manager thinks so too, suggesting a rather... creative way to secure the band's legacy: having at least one but ideally no more than two of them die on stage. Talk about dramatic flair!

FANS CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL

The trailer has left fans salivating for more! With its hilarious antics and wacky cameos, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is shaping up to be the ultimate comedy event of the year.

"I may go to the movies just to see this movie," one excited fan tweeted. "Are we finally getting answers about the drummer?" another joked.

With a September 12 release date on the horizon, it's clear that fans are eagerly anticipating Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. And with its promise of outrageous humor and unforgettable cameos, we can't blame them!

The original cult classic is set to make way for a new generation of comedy enthusiasts. So mark your calendars, folks! It's time to get ready for the most epic reunion in rock history.
