Career
Bros Bros was first formed in 1984 and built up a small but loyal following around the clubs. In 1987 they landed a major record deal with CBS and issued their first single "I Owe You Nothing". It did little more than break the bottom end of the UK Top 100. The following year they issued the follow-up "When Will I Be Famous?". The second single also took off with a slow start, but after several TV and live appearances it began to sell better and was to be their first top ten hit, reaching a high of #2 in the UK. A third single, "Drop The Boy", also just missed the very 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, and their album Push reached #2 in the UK. That album went on to sell more than 5 million copies worldwide, and the group headlined the world’s most 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 London's Wembley Stadium. They topped the charts in numerous countries, won many awards (including Brits and Smash Hits) and, at the end of 1988, scored a huge 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; 11,000 fans crammed outside HMV Oxford Street in London for a record signing. It was followed by Chocolate Box and the album The Time, both of which clocked up time in 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 (just like the Bay City Rollers before them and The Spice Girls after them). However, Beatle-like success proved difficult to maintain. Bros' next single, "Madly in Love", just missed the top 10, peaking at #14. The White Album, see The Beatles (album). ...

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 called it quits. Their sales had cooled and Matt and Luke decided to go on to solo careers.
Life After Bros Due to the high living the brothers enjoyed while they were in Bros and the incompetent management they had at the time, Luke and Matt Goss accumlated 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. After a little while, Matt decided to return to live in Los Angeles.

However, it was never officially released and sold in stores. Matt also wrote a new song, "Carolyn", dedicated to his sister, who had died at the height of his Bros days.
