Former Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears performs three songs for Radio 2 Piano Room Month, including an exclusive Pet Shop Boys cover featuring special guest Neil Tennant.

Three-time Brit Award winners, Scissor Sisters released four albums together, including their self-titled debut, which was the UK's best-selling album of 2004. Hits include I Don't Feel Like Dancing, Laura and Filthy/ Gorgeous.

As a solo artist Jake has released a self-titled debut album, and has collaborated with the likes of Andy Bell from Erasure and Kylie Minogue.

In 2020 Jake starred in The Masked Singer UK as the Unicorn, finishing in sixth place.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra, and each artist will be performing three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known tracks, and a classic cover version from another artist - with members of the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra accompanying.

Plus, actor Mark Bonnar chooses his Tracks of My Years with Ken all this week.

Known for his roles as Duncan Hunter in Shetland, DCC Mike Dryden in Line of Duty and Chris in Catastrophe amongst others, Mark can currently be seen in The Rig on Prime Video, alongside Martin Compston and Iain Glen. This summer, Mark returns as Max in series three of the Bafta award-winning Guilt on 大象传媒 Two, plus he'll be starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ridley Scott's Napoleon biopic.

Mark's next two choices are from Nirvana and Louis Armstrong.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week.
