Shearn was a roadie for the Village People and sometimes subbed in as the half naked Indian when the band needed an extra singer.

After his career on the road with the Village People, he embarked on a career as a writer. He wrote three number one hits in the 1980's. Boy George and Culture Club tapped him to write the genius lyrics for his most recognizable tune Karma Chameleon.

His two other Number One hits were:

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go performed by the supergroup Wham! before teaming up with Olivia Newton-John to write the lyrics and music for the smooth hit Physical.

This experience in writing and life on the road inspired him on his current career path as on-air talent and professional karaoke singer where he will star in Duets 2, a promising sequel to the 2000 mega blockbuster hit, Duets.

It's release is set for July 1, 2008 and Shearn is set to co-star with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Rod Stewart, Rupaul, and Nathan Lane.

Controversy

Shearn left the limelight in 1988 after being caught committing lude acts in a bathroom with George Michael. It all hit rock bottom the following year when the paparazzi witnessed him exiting an adult theater with Paul Reubens, a.k.a Pee Wee Herman.

Shearn has since cleared those charges by saying that the bathroom incident was an accident. Turns out he accidentally touched George Michael's foot in the stall while trying to pick up a piece of toilet paper on the floor. As for exiting an adult movie with Paul Reubens, he has stated that it was mere coincidence that Pee Wee was in the same theater at the same time.
