Scissor Sisters‘ upcoming UK comeback tour.The iconic New York pop-rock band announced their UK reunion tour today (October 31), where they will play their self-titled 2004 debut in full in honour of its 20th anniversary.Founding members Jake Shears, Babydaddy, and guitarist/bassist Del Marquis are set to perform together for the first time in over a decade.
However, Ana Matronic (who also founded the band) was noticeably absent from the lineup; Scissor Sisters have said they would “honour” the vocalist on their upcoming tour.Speaking about her decision to not participate in the tour, Ana took to social media to write: “People familiar with my story and career arc will know that in the heart of this Showgirl lies a giant Nerd.
