Bros
Bros was first formed in 1984 while they were at Collingwood College in Camberley. Their music teacher gave the boys an F grade and said they were hopeless. In 1987 they landed a record deal with CBS and issued their first single "I Owe You Nothing", which reached the bottom end of the UK Top 100. The following year they issued the follow-up "When Will I Be Famous?". After several TV and live appearances this began to sell and was to be their first top ten hit, reaching number 2 in the UK charts. A third single, "Drop The Boy", also just missed the top of the charts. It was the re-issue of their debut "I Owe You Nothing" that saw them score a #1 hit single that year.

Their album "Push" reached #2 in the UK and went on to sell over 5 million copies worldwide. The group topped the bill at several prestigious venues, including the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Tokyo's Budokan, The Royal Albert Hall, and ten consecutive nights at London's Wembley Arena, with the farewell performance at Wembley Stadium. They topped the charts in several countries, won awards (including Brits and Smash Hits) and, at the end of 1988, scored a Christmas hit with a double-A-sided single featuring "Cat Among The Pigeons" from "Push" and their version of "Silent Night", which was only kept from being the season's #1 seller by Cliff Richard.

In 1989 Bros were back, minus Logan, with the single "Too Much", another top 2 success. It was followed by "Chocolate Box" and the album "The Time", both of which reached the UK charts. Bros became the youngest group in history to sell out Wembley Stadium and were even being compared by some to The Beatles. However, Beatle-like success proved difficult to maintain. Bros' next single, "Madly in Love", missed the top 10, peaking at #14.

After one more album, "Changing Faces" (UK No 18), which produced the international top 15 hit "Are You Mine", and (UK No 27) "Try", Bros decided to disband. Matt and Luke decided to go on to solo careers.


Life After Bros
Luke and Matt Goss had accumulated many debts by the time sales had cooled off. Luke Goss recalls that fans would still wait outside their home to see them, though this would only be half a dozen or so, rather than hundreds and hundreds each day as when their success was at its height.

While Luke remained in the UK, Matt moved to the United States after the split and released his solo album "The Key" (producing UK No 38 single "The Key" and No 23 "If You Were Here Tonight") four years later. After this he moved to Italy and teamed up with record producer Joe T. Vanelli to create a new group called "Co*Bra". They released a funk/dance album called "One" in 1997 and released two singles from that album. Matt later decided to return to live in Los Angeles.

In 1997 Matt recorded a duet, "This Pain", with his long-time friend Denise Pearson of Five Star.

Afterwards Matt had a song included on the soundtrack for "Stuart Little" ("Lucky Day"). He also had a song on the album "Sounds Of A Better World" and played at Carnegie Hall in New York on New Year's Eve 1999. He also started writing songs for other music artists, and decided to make a large selection of brand-new songs available on his website. The new album would be called "Face The Wind". However, it was never officially released or sold in stores. Matt also wrote a new song, "Carolyn", dedicated to his sister, who had died in a car accident during the height of his Bros days.


Chart Comeback
In the summer of 2003, Matt Goss returned to the UK music scene.

He did a UK tour of 13 venues, and also played to his home crowd at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London without even having a recording contract or record label.

Goss then signed a deal with Concept Music. He was asked to be the special guest of Mariah Carey at her UK concerts. Following that, on 3 November 2003, Goss released his first single in the UK since 1996. It was called "I'm Coming With Ya" and reached number 22 in the UK charts. He also appeared on Top of The Pops.

He was then asked to appear on a new TV reality show called "Hell's Kitchen", along with nine other celebrities. This show was watched by 8 million viewers every night for two weeks on ITV. Matt came third in the show.

On the back of the "Hell's Kitchen" show, Matt played a one-off gig at the Scala in London on 8 July 2004. He then released a new single, "Fly", on 19 July 2004, which reached No 31 in the UK charts.

An album, "Early Side of Later", was released on 21 June 2004.

Sony music (who had acquired CBS Records) also released a new CD called "The Best Of Bros".

Dance duo Minimal Chic heard the title track of Goss' album "The Key", and asked to re-release it. He re-recorded his vocals for them and on 20 September 2004 the single, now renamed "I Need The Key", was released. It reached No 58 in the UK singles charts.

March 2005 saw the release of Matt's autobiography, "More Than You Know". He did a UK book signing tour to promote it. After the book signing tour, he returned to live in Los Angeles.

He also recorded another song with Minimal Chic, a version of U2's "With Or Without You".
