Tour Diary: Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters

“This is the band heading to Moscow from St. Petersburg. Looking back at the camera is my long time creative partner Babydaddy, aka Scott Hoffman. We’ve been friends for about 15 or 16 years. In a lot of ways it’s almost as if we’ve been married. It’s a unique relationship that is very different than any others I’ve had. In certain ways, we are complete opposites, and see the same thing very differently. Yet there is still a very strong link between us, a common ground we’ve always had. We’re not going to be together as much in the near future because we’re on different coasts, but we’ll meet up and find plenty of projects to collaborate on, so I’m not all that worried about it. There’s definitely a creative part of me though that’s not complete without him.”
