Jake Shears announces new solo album, with Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda and Iggy Pop as guests
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 2 February 2023
Former Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears has announced that he will release a new solo album this summer, titled ‘Last Man Dancing’. Guests on the record include Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda and Iggy Pop. What a sentence to be able to write.
“’Last Man Dancing’ is my ultimate house party”, says Shears. “Presented in two distinct halves, it chronicles a night’s journey from sing-along dance anthems into the deeper, darker corners of my living room”.
“Electro-pop, tech-house, poppers-fueled disco, it’s MY afters and YOU just got the address” he adds. “We can be as loud and late as we want… and while not everyone might make it to the end, it’s the last ones dancing who are rewarded with the most magical moments of the evening”.
Other guests on the album are Le Chev, Amber Martin and Big Freedia. The first single from the album, ‘Too Much Music’, sees Shears without any collaborators at all though, so you’ll have to wait and see what their contributions sound like.

The album is out on 2 Jun, and Shears will also be touring the UK around the release date. Tickets go on general sale on 10 Feb. Here are the dates:
30 May: Glasgow, SWG3 Warehouse
1 Jun: Brighton, Concorde 2
2 Jun: London, Village Underground
4 Jun: London, Mighty Hoopla
