Bros to make comeback

MATT GOSS is planning a comeback for Bros, the band he started with his brother Luke.

According to a UK news outlet on Saturday, January 28 the 54 ­ year ­ old singer spoke of his desire to reunite with his brother for a new album and tour in 2024.

BROS: Hoping to unite in 2024 for a new album and tour.

The pair last played together in 2017 with two concerts at the O2 in London. Those were followed by a documentary on the band entitled ‘Bros: After the screaming stops’.

Bros broke up over jealousy between the two brothers with Luke feeling second best.

Goss said: “Bros, in the next couple of years it will happen, absolutely. I think in 2024. I would like to think that will be a year we can think about another documentary and do some shows. Alongside that, we’d like to do some new music together. We want to get on to the festival circuit. We want to document how that experience is for us.”

The band were very successful back in the 80s and early 90s with a number of singles and albums hitting the charts. Their debut album Push back, released in 1988, reached Number 2 on the UK Albums Chart.

UKRAINIAN officials have issued a statement suggesting that the country could boycott the Olympics in Paris in 2024 if Russian and Belarusian athletes are allowed to participate.

The Ukrainian Minister for Sport, Vadim Guttsait made the comments on Friday, January 27 after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that they would “explore a pathway” for athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete in the global sporting event as neutral athletes, in spite of their countries’ actions.

Guttsait made his country’s position clear in a Facebook post writing that while there is a “war in Ukraine, Russian and Belarusian athletes should not be allowed in international competitions.” He added “If we are not listened to, I do not rule out the possibility that we will refuse and boycott participating in the Olympics.”

Belarus is one of Russia’s biggest allies and has supported the country in the invasion of Ukraine, crucially hosting troops and weapons on Belarusian land.

The inclusion of athletes in international competitions is a contentious point with the IOC’s official line being “No athlete should be prevented from competing just because of their passport.”
