The Grand Tour's James May lands new TV series in major career change

James May, known for his role on The Grand Tour, is embarking on a new adventure with a travel TV series set to air on Channel 5. After wrapping up The Grand Tour earlier this year, James, alongside co-hosts Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson, has time to explore new projects.

In his upcoming series, "The Great Explorers With James May," he will delve into the lives and voyages of renowned explorers such as James Cook, Christopher Columbus, and Sir Walter Raleigh.

The show aims to celebrate their monumental achievements while also confronting the grim realities of their expeditions, including the impacts of slavery and disease.

A source told The Sun: "James is no stranger to being part of a great adventure, thanks to his travelogue series that's taken him from Italy to India on Prime Video. But this show is all about James looking back over the journeys of the world's most notable explorers across three 90-minute episodes dedicated to each name."

They added: "Not only will he examine the success of their stories, from engineering innovation to culinary invention, but also the treasures brought back to dark, damp Europe. This series will also reveal the less impressive or palatable aspects of these men. For many, their discoveries may not be quite what they expected."

Discussing his new programme, James shared: "TV shows are often described as 'journeys' and 'explorations'. This one really is about journeys and exploration. We all think we know the basic pub facts about these three great men, but the reality may come as a bit of a surprise. It certainly was to me.," reports the Mirror .

James has previously expressed astonishment at the duration of their partnership.

Speaking on The Today Podcast, he remarked: "We've done it for nearly 22 years - a lot longer than we thought we would. I thought, when I started doing it in 2003 or 2004, that this was a bit of a laugh.

"Maybe it'll last a few years. And, here we are, grey and wizened and sagging. And we've only just stopped doing it. It's quite remarkable."

MEN has reached out to Channel 5 for comment.

Usher just hit his hometown Atlanta fans with a major announcement -- he's postponed his "Past Present Future" tour opener just hours before Wednesday night's show ... saying he's got to put himself first.

The R&B star dropped a long IG statement Wednesday ... saying after pouring his blood, sweat and tears into his three-decade-long career, he needs to let his body rest up and heal -- that’s why he pulled the plug on this evening's show at State Farm Arena.

Usher promised he’s not ditching his fans, and says tonight's show will be rescheduled -- when fans will get 100% of him.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

For now, Usher’s still hitting up two of his ATL dates this Friday and Saturday ... before he heads to D.C. next week.

Clearly, this is a real bummer for fans with tickets ... but comments under Usher’s post were packed with support, reminding him that health comes first.

Fingers crossed Usher will be ready to make fans go "Yeah!" again when he’s back in action with those rescheduled dates!

The Best Grand Canyon Tours from Vegas

Courtesy of National Park Express

A trip to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without experiencing the awe-inspiring natural wonders just outside of it — particularly the Grand Canyon.

We've rounded up the best Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas, whether you seek a relaxing bus tour, a thrilling helicopter ride, or a little bit of both. Note that most of these tours require a full day of your vacation itinerary.

Price: From $368 per person Duration: About 10 hours

This adventure begins on the Las Vegas Strip , where passengers board an air-conditioned bus and head to the West Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. From there, they board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Next, visitors head for Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. There's also an option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).

Good to know: Grand Canyon West is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribal Nation. In the tribe's traditions, the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River are considered living, spiritual entities. When visiting Grand Canyon West, travelers are immersed in the rich culture and history of the Hualapai Nation.

Check prices & availability on:

Price: From $94 per person Duration: About 11 hours

This tour will show you the best of the West Rim, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can trek to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.

A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo (but keep in mind this stop is only available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.

No matter which option you choose, previous travelers say you will enjoy this tour — especially the expert guides, who they describe as both informative and entertaining.

Good to know: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.

Price: From $119 per person Duration: About 13 hours

If you're looking to visit the South Rim — the most popular part of Grand Canyon National Park — consider this bus tour from National Park Express. Tour rates include admission to some of the most popular Grand Canyon attractions , including Mather Point and Bright Angel Point , and you'll get about three hours total to explore. Previous travelers commend the tour guides and drivers, noting they are both knowledgable and pleasant.

Lunch, bottled water and a granola bar are included in tour rates. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).

Good to know: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area (such as coyotes and bighorn sheep) often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim.

Price: From $74 per person Duration: About 15 to 16 hours

This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.

You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.

Previous travelers say this tour makes for a really long day, but that the experience is well worth the time.

Good to know: Located farther from Vegas, the South Rim is cooler, with rainy and snowy winters, and more moderate temperatures in spring, summer and fall.

Courtesy of Comedy on Deck Tours

Price: From $139 per adult Duration: About 10.5 hours

This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon.

Additionally, this all-inclusive tour stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as a tour guide makes for an even more fun experience according to previous tourgoers.

Good to know: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.

Price: From $100 per person Duration: About 14 hours

This South Rim bus tour from Canyon Tours offers a full day of activities that kids will enjoy. Not only will youngsters marvel at the beauty of the canyon, but they can also have an immersive experience at the IMAX theater, which plays a film that takes you into the center of the canyon. Additionally, your family will get a chance to see the Hoover Dam as you cross the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge.

Lunch and bottled water are included in tour rates.

Good to know: Visitor centers throughout the park offer free activities that allow children 4 and older to earn an official Junior Ranger badge and learn about nature, history and park preservation.

Price: From $599 per person Duration: 4 hours

One of the best Grand Canyon helicopter tours , this excursion features panoramic views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Mojave Desert and of course, the Grand Canyon. The tour covers roughly 10 miles of the Grand Canyon before landing 3,500 feet below the rim of the Hualapai Indian Territory, where Champagne and light snacks are served. Previous visitors say this is one of the highlights of the tour.

This helicopter tour departs the Las Vegas Strip Terminal, and complimentary shuttle service is available for hotels within a 5-mile radius of the departure point. Note that helicopter weight restrictions apply for safety purposes.
