Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder is to start a quest for aliens and UFOs on The History Channel, according to The Sun newspaper.
Ryder has made no secret of his belief in UFOs and alien life over the years, something again documented is his recent autobiography Twisting My Melon. The show, to be entitled Shaun Ryder On UFOs, will comprise eight episodes and begins in Manchester, reports the UK tabloid.
The Sun quotes a TV source as explaining Ryder will: “…try to separate fact from fiction and meet odd characters, some of whom make him look sane. It will be revelatory but funny.”
Meanwhile, Special Agent Ryder is due to head out on a UK and Ireland tour this month. Beginning at Under The Influence’s 9th birthday bash in Hull on November 9th, Ryder will move on to the Durham Live Lounge a day later, before four dates in Scotland at Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The tour continues well into December, with the final date coming on the 23rd at Reading’s Sub89.
