Shakespears Sister reunite for new tour and greatest hits release

The rumours are true! Shakespears Sister are reuniting 26-years after they broke up.

The duo – Marcella Detroit and Siobhan Fahey – will release greatest hits collection Singles Party on 19th July 2019, which will feature new tracks All the Queen’s Horses and C U Next Tuesday, and they will embark on the Shakespears Sister Ride Again tour this October and November.

Talking about the reunion Siobhan said, “Neither of us wanted to go into it if there was anything apart from friendship and unity. We did not want a repeat of 1992. Life’s too short. So I think we just explored it slowly. I realised what a perfect writing partner she is for me… there’s some sort of weird fusion of energies that feels fated. It’s like this third entity exists that is neither me nor her, it’s the two of us.”

Marcella added, “There was no stopping this. It was like this snowball that just kept on gathering more and more speed. I think we’ve come to a point where we respect and understand each other more than we ever could have back then. That’s the simplest way to put it. We’ve come to a mutual understanding of and respect for who each other are. It’s just about acceptance – acceptance of who we both are, for each other and to each other.”
