‘I don’t want to lie anymore,’ said the musician. Matt Goss has confirmed he is “completely estranged” from his twin brother and former Bros band member, Luke Goss. The 56-year-old musicians were both part of the Eighties pop duo, before the band split in 1992, amid tensions that mirrored the split of Oasis following Noel and Liam Gallagher’s feud. The group are best known for their hits, “When Will I Be Famous” and “I Owe You Nothing”.
Their unfiltered journey was the subject of a 2018 Bafta-winning documentary, After the Screaming Stops, in which Matt confronts his brother for treating him “like a f***ing c**t”. “I don’t want to go into detail, but I also don’t want to lie any more,” Matt told The Guardian. “We are completely estranged.”.
He explained, “When you do your best, that is enough. And I’ve done my best. I really have.”. However, he did not hold back from expressing a desire to be reunited with his sibling. “Listen, I want to be on the stage with him, I want to be touring with the band, I want to be having a pint, I want him to meet my girl, I want to meet his. I want to live with him.
“But I’m not going to make myself unwell. I’m not.”. Asked for the reasons behind the distance, he said: “It’s a tough one. I don’t want to say too much, out of respect for him. But I’m not going to say it’s kumbaya, because it certainly isn’t.”.
