Ana Matronic isn’t joining the Scissor Sisters reunion tour, but she’s released a statement explaining why and it’s great.

No bad feelings here.

“People familiar with my story and career arc will know that in the heart of this Showgirl lies a giant Nerd. In the past decade my Nerd self has taken the wheel and is now driving my career.”

“I am currently finishing production on the first season of my history podcast Good Time Sallies which has grown into several long-term research & writing projects… with contracts signed and schedules agreed on these commitments, the timing of a Scissor reunion does not allow me to join my former bandmates on this tour.”

“I wish the band and our fans all the best – I will be there in spirit to kiki with you!”
