Elton John and Scissor Sisters to team up for new musical

Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears has revealed he is working on another musical, but this time he's teaming up with Elton John.

Shears, who currently stars as Greta in the LA production of Bent, wrote the musical adaptation of Tales of the City which premiered in San Francisco in 2011, and his second show will be a collaboration with the British icon.

He told The Advocate, " I’m working on my second musical now with Elton John. And it’s making me realize when writing lyrics and stuff, it’s giving me another perspective on writing for theater that I never had. I feel like I’m getting a lot out of this, even just from the perspective of writing for theater.

"I’m just learning a ton."

Sir Elton is no stranger to theatre, his previous work for the stage includes The Lion King, Billy Elliot and Aida, and it's not the first time he's collaborated with Shears either.

He co-wrote the band's 2006 hit "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", which was a number one hit in eight countries.

Pushed on what the musical would be about, Shears wasn't giving anything away.

"I wish I could say! We haven’t made an official announcement about it, but I’m very excited."

We're excited too, Jake, and it's definitely one to watch out for over the course of the next few months!
