My Name is Ryder, Shaun Ryder.

When it comes to former Happy Mondays‘ frontman Shaun Ryder, there’s nothing left which might surprise. Or so we thought. According to British newspapers, he is about to start a quest for aliens and UFOs in a new show on The History Channel!

Ryder has made no secret of his belief in UFOs and alien life over the years, as documented in his recent autobiography Twisting My Melon. The show, to be entitled Shaun Ryder On UFOs, comprises eight episodes and begins in Manchester. In a statement Ryder said of his new alien show: “I’m delighted to be making this series! Once they see you, they keep an eye on you…”.
