In addition to the confusion of their social media reports from fans throughout the U.K. have also pointed toward the band’s logo appearing on the side of Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, possibly suggesting a live return as well.

Currently, the band have made no official statement in regard to a return, instead letting the rumor mill run rife.
Scissor Sisters first formed in 2000, going on to release a total of four records between 2004 and 2012, with 2010’s Night Work becoming their highest-charting record in the United States, reaching No. 18 on the Billboard 200 (its predecessor Ta-Dah hit No. 19 in 2006). In the U.K., however, the group received a far stronger response, with their first two albums reaching the top of the Official U.K. Albums Chart, and Night Work and 2012’s Magic Hour reaching No. 2 and 4, respectively.
In October 2012, the group announced their hiatus while performing in England, with a performance in Italy on Nov. 1, 2012 being their last live appearance to date. In 2017, the group reconvened somewhat, collaborating with MNDR on the track “Swerlk” to honor the one-year anniversary of the Orlando nightclub shooting.
In 2019, frontman Jake Shears reflected on the demise of the group, telling GayCities that the band’s decision to split came following the success of 2012’s “Let’s Have a Kiki”, which became their third song to top the Dance Club Songs chart.
“I didn’t know what the f— to say after that song, quite honestly,” Shears said in 2019. “When that song came out and did what it did … I was just like, ‘Well, there it is, I guess we did it.’
“I thought, we’ve been recording and touring for 10 years, and I felt like it was time,” he added. “This wasn’t what anybody in the band had planned to do. So I thought it would be fun to end on a high note.”
During his interview, Shears did hint at the future of the band, noting that the uncertainty of their hiatus would eventually be ended by an eventual return.
“That’s not to say we’re never going to do anything again,” Shears said. “The Scissor Sisters will be back.”

“Our beautiful Richard John Andrew died at around 5.25am, this morning” the musician’s family wrote. “His death, as he was in life, was epic. He left this world, face to face with his wife, Nicolette, as she sang their song ‘Do You Realise’ by The Flaming Lips. We are all heartbroken though relieve that our sweet prince is finally free.”

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our charming beautiful force of nature Richard John Andrew,” Underground Lovers echoed on social media. “We are numb with grief and sadness. He passed peacefully in his sleep at home this morning with his wife Nicolette at his side.”
Trending on Billboard
Andrew first rose to fame as a member of the Underground Lovers in 1988. He joined the group as their drummer shortly before they changed their name from the initial GBVB after founding members Glenn Bennie and Vincent Giarrusso.
Throughout his initial tenure with the group, Andrew was on hand to share in their sole ARIA Award win for Best New Talent in 1992, and performed on three of the group’s studio albums, including 1994’s Dream It Down, which peaked at No. 55 on the national charts.
Leaving the group ahead following the release of Dream It Down, Andrew went on to perform with a number of different bands in Australia, including kinderland, Red Textas, Registered Nurse, and others.
Though Underground Lovers would initially disband in 2002, Andrew took part in their reunion in 2009, going to perform on albums such as 2013’s Weekend, 2017’s Staring At You Staring At Me, and 2019’s A Left Turn.
In his post on social media announcing his diagnosis last week, Andrew shared a dictated message reflecting on his imminent passing.
“I am completely reconciled to whatever the future is, however, that future is probably quite limited and I’m in the process of preparing to pop this mortal coil and return to the trees, as it were,” he wrote. “I cannot overstate enough what an honour and a privilege it has been to know you all over the last 58 years, and to have lived the most incredible, incredible life.”
