Elvis Costello is set to become a TV host when he takes on a new show to be aired on the
Sundance Channel.
The singer will present
‘Spectacle: Elvis Costello With ...’ , which will see
Costello talk in depth with stars, in the hope of gaining an insight into the personality that may not have previously been known. The show will be produced by
Rocket Pictures, owned by
Elton John.
‘I'd rather hear about a bright secret, a deep love or a curiosity that might be otherwise obscured by fame. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk in complete thoughts about music, movies, art or even vaudeville, then frame it with unique and illustrative performances,’
Costello told
Billboard.com.
The show will air on
Channel 4 in the UK.
This is not
Costello’s first foray into the TV world. In 2003, he guest- hosted T
he Late Show on
CBS while
David Letterman was ill.
