Here's Everyone Who Is on Mark Knopfler's 'Guitar Heroes' Song

A new video outlines the more than 60 artists who contributed to the recently released charity single by Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes. "Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)" debuted last week and includes performances by some of rock's biggest names.

The former Dire Straits frontman recruited famous pals for the update of his song originally written for the 1983 movie Local Hero. Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, Bruce Springsteen and Slash are among the performers.

The song also includes the final recording by Jeff Beck, who died in January 2023. It's his guitar that opens the song.

The new 10-minute video details when each artist appears in the song. You can watch the video below.

The single, credited to Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes, is a benefit for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America. "Before I knew where I was, Pete Townshend had come into my studio armed with a guitar and an amp," Knopfler noted in a press release announcing the video.

"And that first Pete power chord ... man, I tell you. We were in that territory, and it was just fantastic. And it went on from there. Eric [Clapton] came in, played great, just one tasty lick after another. Then Jeff Beck’s contribution arrived and that was spellbinding. I think what we’ve had is an embarrassment of riches, really. The whole thing was a high point."
