Bros hit back after TV show

-

After finding themselves the stars of Christmas TV’s unlikelies­t hit, Bros are going back into the studio to create more Goss gold.

Buoyed by the reaction to their (unintentio­nally) hilarious documentar­y Bros: After The Screaming Stops (which you really need to watch on iPlayer if you haven’t already seen it), Matt and Luke Goss announced they will return for a special gig at the O2 Academy Brixton on July 5.

And sources say they’ll be making more music after that – no doubt featuring the Matt Goss-pel choir.

(Watch – or re-watch – the doc if that sounds unfamiliar.)

The source says: “There’s been a bit of mickey-taking, especially about some of the boys’ more eccentric ideas, like campaignin­g to save conkers. But generally, the reaction has been really positive, and that has meant a lot to both of them.

“They feel really inspired to create new music together.”

The group last had a hit in 1991, but released a single in 2017 around their comeback show – all filmed for the movie, which has drawn quite a few comparison­s to This Is Spinal Tap.

Luke describes the doc as a “brutal experience”, like having “therapy with a wooden bat”.

“We didn’t want to do a promo piece,” Matt tells GQ.

“There was genuine tension between us… it was like there were three layers of eggshells on every floor that I walked on.”

Oh, and on that conkers campaign, Matt adds to the mag: “I want to get hats with ‘Make Conkers Great Again’.”

Seriously, watch the doc. It’s amazing.
