Paul McCartney Shares Tribute to Rob Reiner
McCartney took to Instagram on Monday, December 15âone day after news of Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner’s passing began to circulateâto share a sweet memory with the beloved director.
“What a tragedy the death of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, is. It is so shocking in many ways but for me especially so, because over the last year I had been working with him,” McCartney announced alongside a photo with the “A Few Good Men” director. “He directed me in ‘Spinal Tap II: The End Continues’. He was such an upbeat, lovable man.”
McCartney continued, “Life can be so unfair and this tragedy proves it. His father, Carl Reiner, was a great humourist before him and Rob followed in his dadâs footsteps doing a terrific job making many great films. I will always have fond memories of Rob and the idea that he and his wife will no longer be in the world with us is heartbreaking.”
“Thanks for all the humour, Rob. Rest in Peace. Love Paul,” the beloved singer added.
“Spinal Tap II: The End Continues”âwhich also featured Elton John, his husband, David Furnish, Garth Brooks, wife Trisha Yearwood and more musical iconsâis a mockumentary sequel to the 1984 film. Stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprised their roles as members of the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap.
