Jake Shears

A born entertainer, Jake founded the legendary band Scissor Sisters, has written an acclaimed memoir (Boys Keep Swinging), performed on Broadway (returning for a special appearance of Kinky Boots at the Hollywood Bowl last summer), and recently opened a critically acclaimed musical in London (Tammy Faye, co-written with Elton John and British playwright James Graham).

Jake's new album 'Last Man Dancing' sees Jake rollerblade his way unapologetically through pop culture. The album was brought to vivid life by Jake and a close crew of collaborators, including head-turning features from Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda, Amber Martin, and a pre-Renaissance turn from the iconic Big Freedia. Last Man Dancing is a life affirming record for anyone who has felt lost – out of love, on a night out, or in the modern world – but kept moving anyway.

Last Man Dancing is full of incandescent nods to fellow dance music pioneers – a Sylvester falsetto here, a Patrick Cowley cowbell there, and a Berghain pulse – all modernised, personalised and right at home in 2023. Hedonistic, poignant, and surreal, Jake Shears has now turned a lifelong love-affair with club culture into his most ambitious material to date.
