Nile Rodgers will be the subject of an upcoming three-part documentary for the BBC. “Nile Rodgers: Lost in Music” will explore Rodgers’ career as a guitarist and co-founding member of Chic, a solo artist, and a collaborator with David Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna, Duran Duran, Daft Punk, and more. It is set to include “unique and never-before seen-or-heard insights from the Nile Rodgers engine room” and feature interviews with Rodgers’ friends and collaborators, including Carly Simon, Sister Sledge’s Kathy Sledge, Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, Mark Ronson, Avicii, John Newman, Laura Mvula, and Keith Urban.
“I’m so pleased that we are able to take our audience right in to the heart of Nile Rodgers’ fascinating musical world,” says BBC Four’s channel editor Cassian Harrison, “The level of access and Nile’s candid attitude make this a fascinating and very exciting series for BBC Four.” Lost in Music debuts this April.
At this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Rodgers will be given the Award for Musical Excellence. Chic are scheduled to release their first album since 1992 later this year.
