Shaun Ryder will take up the role as a UFO-hunter for a new TV show.
The Happy Mondays singer will search for extra terrestrial life on Shaun Ryder On UFOs, a new eight-party show on The History Channel.
Speaking about aliens, Ryder told The Sun: Once they see you they keep an eye on you.
A TV 'source' added: "He'll try to separate fact from fiction and meet odd characters, some of whom make him look sane. It will be revelatory but funny."
Ryder will begin his quest for aliens in his hometown of Manchester, where he claims he first saw a UFO at the age of 15.
