Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes recently released the official video for "Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)."
The star-studded re-recording of Knopfler's 1983 solo single was released in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.
For the nearly 10-minute new take of the Local Hero theme song, Knopfler joined forces with numerous rock icons, including Queen's Brian May, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.
Guitar Heroes' take on "Going Home" also contains the last ever recording by the late Jeff Beck.
The new version also features The Beatles' Ringo Starr on drums, Sting on bass and The Who frontman (and Teenage Cancer Trust patron) Roger Daltrey on harmonica.
The visuals, animated by the Electric Theatre Collective, display the names of each musician as their respective contributions play out. The video also features several music-themed graphics.
The track was recorded at British Grove Studios in West London and produced by Knopfler's longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher.
As for Jeff Beck's contribution, Fletcher described it as "absolutely meant to be. And what he did with it, it just brings you to tears."

Cypress Hill have announced they will perform a show with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall on July 10th.
The upcoming concert makes a 1996 joke on "The Simpsons" an actual real life thing. In the "Homerpalooza" episode of "The Simpsons" broadcast on May 19, 1996, the group accidentally book a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra, triggering rumors of the band teaming up with the famous orchestra.
Cypress Hill had performed three shows with a symphony orchestra in the U.S. last year. Troy Miller will be conducting unique orchestral arrangements of the band's most iconic songs, including "Insane in the Brain" and "I Wanna Get High" at the Royal Albert Mall this year.
"We are thrilled to be performing with the London Symphony Orchestra in such a prestigious venue as the Royal Albert Hall," Cypress Hill said. "It's a dream come true, a collaboration only The Simpsons could have predicted."
Kathryn McDowell, the LSO's Managing Director said, "After years of social media teasing it, many fans may have started to believe it would only be a pipedream - but the LSO is delighted to finally be joining Cypress Hill on stage and in person, and look forward to creating an unforgettable musical moment! Many thanks to the creators of The Simpsons for the idea and to AEG Artistic and PolyArts for making it all happen."
