Matt Goss, lead singer of the 80s band Bros, has revealed that an individual who had been stalking him for some time was recently arrested.
Goss, 55, originally found fame in the late 80s in the band Bros, which also featured his twin brother Luke on drums and their friend Craig Logan on bass.
The band formed in 1986 and dropped breakout hits like: When Will I Be Famous?, Drop The Boy, Cat Among The Pigeons, and their 1987 number one I Owe You Nothing.
In a recent interview, Goss said that the police were called on an individual – who had been stalking him for some time – when they ‘got very, very close’ to his home. According to Goss, the person was subsequently arrested.
He shared that stalking has been an ongoing issue in his life recently, which has led him to avoid social media. He also said the incident made him ’emotional.’

Speaking on the BBC podcast Rylan: How To Be In The Spotlight, Goss said: ‘I have a case with a few issues going on. Somebody was just arrested.
‘So the reason I’ve been quite quiet on socials is because I’ve had a pretty major stalker and they got very, very close to where I lived.’
He continued: ‘It’s been very emotional, if I’m honest. But they basically came over and it turned. It turned a bit weird.
‘That’s been resolved. I can’t speak about any of the details but somebody was arrested.’
This revelation comes two years after Goss appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, which followed an 11-year residency performing in Las Vegas.
Goss also revealed last year that he isn’t speaking to his twin brother Luke.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain in 2023, Matt told Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard that he and Luke weren’t on good terms.
At the time, Susanna asked: ‘Are you going to get back to Bros?’
He replied: ‘Well, we’re not talking at the moment.’
He added: ‘Luke, if you’re watching this, we should talk at least.’
Goss continued: ‘We’re so dysfunctional me and Luke at times, we haven’t spoken for months.’
