Mark Knopfler has a new charity single on the way, featuring a whopping 60 musical legends.
The track, a recording of Knopfler's 1983 song "Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)" will arrive on March 15.
Among the contributors are Eric Clapton, Steve Cropper, Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, Buddy Guy, Tony Iommi, Joan Jett, Brian May, Tom Morello, Slash, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Joe Walsh, Ronnie Wood and many more.
The nine-minute track, which you can hear a snippet of below, is even more notable for featuring the final recording Jeff Beck made before his passing in January of 2023.
"What I really want to do, more than anything else, is just to thank each and every one for this sterling response," Knopfler said in a press release. "I really had no idea that it was going to be like this. It hit [producer] Guy [Fletcher] and I quite early on that we had to extend this piece somehow, to take in the number of people who joined in."

Is that Brian right at the end of that little clip?
