Elvis Costello will host a TV show to be produced by Elton John's Rocket Pictures.
The show, to be called 'Spectacle: Elvis Costello With ..." will be seen in the USA on the Sundance Channel and in the UK on Channel 4.The 13 part series feature interview and performances with Elvis also performing his own versions of his guests songs.
Elton John and his partner David Furnish will be Executive Producers of the program.
In a statement, Costello said "I'm not interested in extracting some dark secret. 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."
Executive Producer Sir Elton John added, "Elvis Costello is the foremost expert on popular music. I thought it would be sensational to use his knowledge and intelligence to explore the artistry of musicians and other fascinating people involved in making great music, as well as true music aficionados."
There is no official broadcast date for the show. It is expected to air later this year.
