Jack Whitehall, Noel Fielding, and Luke Treadaway to portray iconic musicians in new Sky TV series
Sky Arts series Urban Myths is returning with Jack Whitehall, Noel Fielding, and Luke Treadaway all confirmed to star.
The show looks at "stories that have been passed down over time and have now become part of urban folklore" and takes a "slightly tongue in cheek, mischievous - and deliberately ambiguous - look at what might have happened..."
Fielding will play Alice Cooper alongside David Suchet (as Salvador Dalí) in "The Dali And The Cooper", which will air next year.
Yes! #UrbanMyths will return in 2018 and one very tall tale will be The Dali And The Cooper, starring @David_Suchet & @noelfielding11 as Salvador Dali & @RealAliceCooper! pic.twitter.com/Lbf67ojKmY

The series courted controversy when launching earlier this year after casting Ralph Fiennes as Michael Jackson - that particular episode was eventually pulled before airing after drawing complaints for the poor casting choice. Episodes featuring Bob Dylan, Hitler, Cary Grant, Samuel Beckett, and Muhammad Ali were shown.
