Almost 12 years to the day since they embarked upon an indefinite hiatus, New York City pop rock outfit Scissor Sisters may be teasing their long-awaited return.

News of a potential return has come by way of the group’s activity on social media, which has seen them update their Facebook, X, and Instagram profile pictures with an image of television static. One user has even noted the presence of something square hidden within the static, potentially hinting at a single or album.

In addition to the confusion of their social media reports from fans throughout the U.K. have also pointed toward the band’s logo appearing on the side of Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, possibly suggesting a live return as well.

Currently, the band have made no official statement in regard to a return, instead letting the rumor mill run rife.

Scissor Sisters first formed in 2000, going on to release a total of four records between 2004 and 2012, with 2010’s Night Work becoming their highest-charting record in the United States, reaching No. 18 on the Billboard 200 (its predecessor Ta-Dah hit No. 19 in 2006). In the U.K., however, the group received a far stronger response, with their first two albums reaching the top of the Official U.K. Albums Chart, and Night Work and 2012’s Magic Hour reaching No. 2 and 4, respectively.

In October 2012, the group announced their hiatus while performing in England, with a performance in Italy on Nov. 1, 2012 being their last live appearance to date. In 2017, the group reconvened somewhat, collaborating with MNDR on the track “Swerlk” to honor the one-year anniversary of the Orlando nightclub shooting.

In 2019, frontman Jake Shears reflected on the demise of the group, telling GayCities that the band’s decision to split came following the success of 2012’s “Let’s Have a Kiki”, which became their third song to top the Dance Club Songs chart.

“I didn’t know what the f— to say after that song, quite honestly,” Shears said in 2019. “When that song came out and did what it did … I was just like, ‘Well, there it is, I guess we did it.’

“I thought, we’ve been recording and touring for 10 years, and I felt like it was time,” he added. “This wasn’t what anybody in the band had planned to do. So I thought it would be fun to end on a high note.”

During his interview, Shears did hint at the future of the band, noting that the uncertainty of their hiatus would eventually be ended by an eventual return.

“That’s not to say we’re never going to do anything again,” Shears said. “The Scissor Sisters will be back.”
