Scissor Sisters have misplaced a key part of their story. Chatting on a video call, there is discussion about where their last performance actually was – a club PA in Milan? A TV show taping in Los Angeles? Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis can’t quite agree. It was 2012 though. Or perhaps 2013?
It makes sense that a band who had been going at breakneck speed for a decade, releasing one of the biggest-selling albums of all time in the UK, can’t remember the specifics. They say they never really intended it to be the end back then, just a moment to “hit pause”. Once a five-piece, they’re now returning minus co-frontperson Ana Matronic (drummer Paddy Boom left in 2008), to play shows celebrating 20 years since their debut self-titled album.
