In concert, Shears is known for provocative dancing, flamboyant outfits, and near-nudity. (During his early years while he was struggling to make it in New York, he would often earn extra money as a Go-Go dancer and male erotic dancer at gay-oriented strip clubs. ) His musical influences include ABBA, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Roxy Music, The New York Dolls, Queen, Madonna, and Dolly Parton. He, along with his band, has become especially popular in the LGBT community. Shears attended Sir Elton John's "stag" party before John's civil partnership ceremony with David Furnish in 2005. The flamboyant singer of Scissor Sisters, Jake Shears, is anxious to find a rental mother to have children with her boyfriend Chris. His intention is to form a family with her partner and two children, one fathered by Jake and the other by Chris. "It would be very cool to have two children of the same mother, a fertilized by him and for me," Shears said the British TV show Orange Playlist. "This would seem to each of us." "I think it is inevitable that we have children," he added. In addition, Jake has revealed he wants to marry Chris at a Disney-style ceremony. "I'm obsessed with Disney and try to go to Disneyland every six months," he explained. "Besides celebrating same-sex unions in the U.S. Disney parks would be great and our wedding there." |
