Shakespears Sister

SHAKESPEARS SISTER. Pop rock act formed in 1988 by Irish-born singer-songwriter Siobhan Fahey. Initially, Shakespears Sister were essentially Siobhan Fahey by herself but (from 1989) the act became a duo along with American musician Marcella Detroit. Together they released two Top 10 albums and a string of Top 40 hits including "Stay" (1992) which reached No1 in the UK for eight consecutive weeks. Detroit left the band in 1993 (leaving Fahey as the sole member again) until she ended the project in 1996. After working under her own name for some years, she revived the Shakespears Sister name again in 2009.
