Posted July 26, 200618 yr From: thesun.co.uk SCISSOR SISTERS frontman JAKE SHEARS has confessed he contemplated suicide after his meteoric rise to fame. The flamboyantly camp singer admitted plunging into a dark depression after returning home from the band’s tour to plug their debut album. Despite becoming one of the most loved performers in music Jake returned to New York on the brink of throwing himself in the city’s Hudson River. He said: “Getting off the road was the most miserable thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. “I’ve never felt so low. I was ready to go walk over to the Hudson and float away. It was more than a comedown. It was like shooting a torpedo into the ground.†Jake burst on to the scene early in 2004 after British label Polydor discovered the Scissors’ unique sound and brought them over from New York. Within 18 months they had a No1 album and were the star turn at Glastonbury. But once the touring ended the usually irrepressible singer struggled with normality. Jake added: “I got back to New York and didn’t want a life. Thank God for my boyfriend, who is such a grounding influence on me. He was just very supportive. He totally never got impatient with me.†Now Jake is planning to follow his pals SIR ELTON JOHN and DAVID FURNISH’s example by, walking boyfriend Chris up the aisle. And he plans to do it at the Glastonbury festival. He told Attitude magazine: “Chris thinks it might be too much of a scenario but I think it’d be a great party. “We could have naked trannies jumping out of cakes and stuff. It’d be fun.†Jake and his Scissors bandmates — ANA MATRONIC, BABYDADDY, DEL MARQUIS and PADDY BOOM — release new single I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ in September. Hopefully another No1 will help Jake get back some of the euphoria he felt with the debut album. The pop scene is a less colourful place without his crocheted dungarees and sequinned catsuits. Welcome back, Jake. PS - Vote YES for a Scissor Sisters Fourm - link in my sig!!
