In debut memoir, musician Jake Shears depicts life in late 1990s Brooklyn
It is rare for a celebrity who has achieved renown working in one medium to reveal that they are just as adept at working in another. However, Jake Shears has done just that.
Shears is the lead singer of the iconic glam band Scissor Sisters, a trailblazing downtown band embraced by the LGBTQ community, which went on to become an international, platinum-selling sensation. Unbeknownst to many, he also has a penchant for the written word that developed early in his life. He is now set to release a memoir titled “Boys Keep Swinging,” which will be released Feb. 20.
