Matt Goss Opens Up: 'I Felt Orphaned' Within His Own Family, Finds Support Only From Father & Stepfather
Singer Matt Goss has bravely shared a deeply personal revelation about his family dynamics, admitting he felt a sense of abandonment and lack of support from most of his relatives. The 56-year-old, known for his work with the iconic boy band Bros, revealed in a recent interview that his primary sources of support have been his father and stepfather.
“I feel somewhat orphaned in my family,” Goss confessed. “I don’t really have any support from anyone other than my dad and my stepfather.” These candid words shed light on a complex family history, one marked by estrangement and a perceived lack of connection.
The revelation comes as Goss reflects on his career and the rise of Bros, a band that catapulted him and his twin brother Luke, along with their school friend Craig Logan, to fame in the late 1980s. While the band achieved considerable success, Goss’s personal life has clearly been more challenging.
A Complicated Relationship with His Twin
Adding to the complexity of the situation is Goss's description of his relationship with his twin brother, Luke. He describes them as “completely estranged,” highlighting a significant rift between the siblings. This separation further emphasizes Goss’s feelings of isolation within his family.
Finding Strength in Fatherhood and Stepfatherhood
Despite the challenges, Goss has found solace and stability in the unwavering support of his father and stepfather. He credits them with providing a consistent and nurturing presence throughout his life and career. This unwavering support has been crucial in navigating the ups and downs of fame and personal struggles.
Looking Ahead
Goss's openness about his family experiences is a testament to his vulnerability and willingness to share his story. It serves as a reminder that even those who achieve public success can grapple with deeply personal and often painful family dynamics. His honesty is likely to resonate with many who have experienced similar feelings of disconnect within their own families. He continues to focus on his music and his personal growth, drawing strength from the relationships that truly matter.
The singer is currently preparing for a series of performances, and his fans eagerly anticipate seeing him on stage once again. His resilience and dedication to his craft are inspiring, proving that even amidst personal challenges, artistic passion can endure.
