Has Jake Shears gone solo?

American singer and songwriter, Jake Shears broke up his music group Scissors Sisters in 2011 after 10 years. He released his debut song as a solo artist in October 2017, dubbed Creep City. He made his first appearance in a Broadway titled Kinky Boots in January 2018. The next month he released his eponymous solo debut album on August 10, 2018.

According to him, the group got separated because they felt their purpose as a team had been fulfilled, therefore, there was no need to be together strongly again.

“I felt we had kinda done what we set out to do. We did 10 solid years of recording and touring. And I just felt like it was time for everybody to go live their lives. The bad was our lives for a long time. But there could be another Scissors record again someday. I’ll never rule that out,” he said.

In 2004, the group found heavy success in the United Kingdom and Ireland and ended the year with the biggest-selling album of that year in the UK. Shears used to be a go-go dancer and an exotic dancer.
