TV SERIES - Spectacle: Elvis Costello With ...

In april it was reported that Elton John and Elvis Costello were working together on a new TV series that will air on CTV in Canada, Channel 4 in the UK and Sundance Channel in the US. The show will be hosted by Elvis Costello and executive-produced by Elton John and David Furnish's company, Rocket Pictures. Conceived and developed in Canada, the series is to feature performances and in-depth discussions between Costello and some of the world's most influential artists and personalities, and also aims to raise money and awareness about AIDS in Africa.

On the eltonjohn.com website, Elvis Costello is quoted saying, "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.". Elton described Elvis Costello as "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.". Elton John will be featured in one of the episodes.
