Matt Goss has admitted he feels ‘orphaned’ by his family as he opened up about his estranged relationship with his twin brother Luke.
The twins, 56, formed Bros in 1986 with their friend Craig Logan and went on to achieve significant fame.
The brothers sadly lost their sister Carolyn in 1988, who was killed in a freak car accident, followed by their mother Carol to breast cancer in 2014.
Despite sharing grief, Matt confirmed last year that he was no longer on speaking terms with his sibling.
Reflecting on the impact of his family circumstances in a new interview, he told OK! Magazine: ‘I feel somewhat orphaned in my family – I feel as if I don’t really have any support, aside from my father and stepfather, and it’s been that way for quite some time.’
Matt also admitted that he wished he had his ‘sister’s energy to bring some glue to this family’.

He continued: ‘None of us really speak, which is strange. It feels like I don’t have a family that gives a s**t, and how it’s affected me is that with every fibre in my being, I’m putting my best foot forward.’
‘Anyone reading this going through something similar, remember this – there are no boundaries in families. They will take and prod and poke, and that’s not healthy. Just because they’re family, it doesn’t mean you have to destroy yourself,’ he added.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Luke for comment.
It comes after Matt confirmed he was ‘completely estranged’ from his twin brother in an interview last year, telling The Guardian that he didn’t want to ‘lie’ anymore about the status of their relationship.
‘When you do your best, that is enough,’ he said. ‘And I’ve done my best. I really have.’
When asked for the reasons behind their distance, he simply said: ‘It’s a tough one. I don’t want to say too much, out of respect for him. But I’m not going to say it’s kumbaya, because it certainly isn’t.’
Matt also expressed his regret at the pair not continuing with their music career together, explaining: ‘To this day, I think we shouldn’t have broken up. We should have just ridden out the storm.’
Bros sold an estimated 16 million records, but things turned sour in 1992 as their fame began to wane and Luke, the drummer, decided he’d had enough of feeling second best.

It was clear that gaining so much fame in such a short amount of time had taken its toll on the brothers, both personally and professionally.
The brothers’ feud has been a topic of conversation for many years and even the subject of their 2018 documentary, Bros: After the Screaming Stops, which featured footage from their brief reunion.
Discussing the reaction he received from their documentary while appearing on Lorraine, Matt said: ‘It was difficult to watch it, because it was so dysfunctional in many ways.
‘But what happened afterwards, I realised that people would come up to me, and fellas would come up to me and say, ‘We are dysfunctional as well.’
‘There is a lot of dysfunction in family. In many ways we find comfort from friends because family have that ability to go a little bit too far sometimes and they know the ʙuттons to press…
‘I feel like now I have a whole philosophy within myself that if I do my best, and I know that I can look at myself and say I’ve tried my best… if that doesn’t work, then that’s okay. I have to live my own life as well.’
