Scissor Sisters, one of pop's most colourful bands, have announced they are reuniting, 12 years after declaring an "indefinite hiatus" live on stage.

The US group will play a 10-date UK tour in May 2025, marking the 20th anniversary of their chart-topping debut album, also called Scissor Sisters.

Scissor Sisters were born in New York's queer nightlife scene, and burst onto the charts with their fluorescent cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb in late 2003 and early 2004.

It's hard to express how different the British music industry was when Scissor Sisters started out.

But more than chart success, Scissor Sisters represented a major shift in the acceptance of gay culture and queer expression in the pop industry.
