The singer on his estrangement from his brother, his Vegas residency, and finally feeling comfortable in his own skin

Born in London in 1968, Matt Goss was a member of Bros, the 80s pop group formed with his twin brother, Luke, and friend Craig Logan. The trio had hits including When Will I Be Famous? and I Owe You Nothing, before splitting in 1992. Matt went on to have a solo career, and recently concluded one of the longest residencies by a British artist in Vegas history. Bros reunited in 2017, coinciding with the Bafta-winning documentary Bros: After the Screaming Stops, which followed the fraught relationship between the twins, who are currently estranged. Matt will take his solo show on tour throughout March and April.

This was taken in our biker jacket phase. I’m wearing one by Rebel Rockers of London and I’m happy I still fit into it; after turning 50 I could have been Fat Goss rather than Matt Goss. Was I happy about how I looked? I have always been confident about what’s inside my heart, less so my appearance, so I don’t think I felt great here. While I participated in certain aesthetic travesties over the years, the classic Bros look – the denim mixed with the jacket, the T-shirt and Dr Martens – is something that still feels relevant. As for the hair – I used Dax. Super greasy and thick. It was not kind on the scalp, but it looked fucking good.
