Jake Shears with special guest Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant
Jake Shears performs live at Maida Vale. Featuring Mary, Too Much Music and the Pet Shop Boys classic Rent, as well as a special guest appearance from Neil Tennant.
Singer-songwriter and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears performs live at Maida Vale with the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Concert Orchestra directed by Anne Dudley.
It's now 20 years since Scissor Sisters first found fame with their disco-inspired cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. They followed this up with the release of their self-titled debut album, which included the hit singles Laura, Take Your Mama and Filthy/Gorgeous.
After a decade of success, Scissor Sisters announced that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus at the end of 2012. Since then, Jake has pursued various solo projects. These include his collaborations with Kylie Minogue and Calvin Harris, making his 2018 Broadway debut in Kinky Boots and releasing his own work.
Jake's Piano Room set features the Scissor Sisters favourite Mary, his latest single Too Much Music, and a unique Piano Room moment as he performs his cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic Rent alongside Neil Tennant.
