Sara chats to Matt Goss of Bros

Matt Goss chats to Sara about the Bros reunion, making it big in Las Vegas, and the making of 1988 album 'Push'. Plus the Top Five from this week in 1980 and some Halloween hits!

Matt Goss chats to Sara about the long-awaited Bros reunion with his brother Luke, making it big in Las Vegas, and the making of 1988 album 'Push'.

Between January 1988 and Christmas 1989, Bros had eight top ten singles, and worldwide sales of their records exceeded 16 million copies. Bros were responsible for a number of fashion trends in the 80s including leather jackets, very ripped jeans and beer bottle tops on shoes, which were copied by legions of 'Brosettes'.

Since the band split in 1992, Matt has pursued a solo career in music as both a singer and songwriter, and when he relocated to America he reinvented himself as a crooner - a move that has seen him become the toast of Las Vegas.

Plus the Top Five from this week in 1980, and some seriously spooky Halloween hits!
