Scissor Sisters Hiatus: Band Announce Extended Break at London Show

The Scissor Sisters are taking an indefinite hiatus after playing one last rocking show at Roundhouse in London.

According to Digital Spy, the dance-pop crew shocked fans after announcing they would be stepping away from the spotlight for a while. "This will be the last time we will play in London for quite some time," singer Jake Shears told the audience.

But don't worry, it's not the end of the New York-based band.

"Thank you London for all your love. And don't worry, we're not going away forever. We'll be back before you know it. With bells on," Shears recently tweeted to the band's fans. "It's not goodbye. Just good night," singer Ana Matronic added.

Scissor Sisters have been performing flamboyant, disco-infused dance music since 2001. Eleven years seems like a long time to stick together for a band these days. Good luck and come back soon!

@Mike: They aren't ALL gay.. Ana Matronic.. the female vocalist is STRAIGHT and I believe MARRIED. Way to assume something you don't know. They are fantastic, their music is high energy and fun.

Never listened to them, but I have a couple of friends who talk about them all the time. Dance music primarily. I guess they are all gay and do a really high energy, over the top kind of campy show. I'm sure thier fans are a little bummed.

Their latest album didn't sell at all, did it? Most bands are fortunate if they hang on after the second one.

If they take a break now they will be forgotten by anyone who rememered them--if that makes sense
