The iconic duo are making something brand new.
Pet Shop Boys have declared their upcoming new album will be their ‘queer album’ Pet Shop Boys are as fundamental to the 1980s as shoulder pads and hairspray – but that doesn’t mean they’re stuck in the neon decade. The iconic duo, vocalist Neil Tennant, 69, and keyboardist Chris Lowe, 64, are set to release their 15th album, Nonetheless, which they’ve dubbed their ‘queer album.
He mentions Troye Sivan, an openly gay pop star, saying: ‘But they say, ‘he’s not famous, he’s gay-famous’. So I’m not sure whether your thesis holds up, ‘cause I think people still think a little bit like that.’ He admits that what was once taboo is becoming increasingly accepted.
