Scissor Sisters are making a comeback and working on new music, 14 years after their last album. The band announced their return at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards, where they received the Music Icon award.
The group's reunion tour this summer proved so successful that they decided to head back into the studio. Frontman Jake Shears, guitarist Del Marqui and bassist BabyDaddy (Scott Hoffman) are joined by current members Bridget Barkan and Amber Martin.
Former vocalist Ana Matronic is not involved in the new material. She previously said the timing did not work with her podcast commitments, writing on Instagram: 'With contracts signed and schedules agreed, the timing of a Scissor reunion does not allow me to join my former bandmates.'
Jake Shears told the awards audience: 'The most incredible thing about being back here after all these years is how little we've aged.' He added that the UK has made the American band feel 'loved and accepted', despite a scheduling clash at Glastonbury this year that put them opposite Charli XCX and Doechii.
'It's terrible,' Shears said of the clash. 'But people showed up and brought their friends, their boyfriends, their kids and their nannas – it reminded us why we do this.'
