Bros popstar said a fan once put a frozen bird on his lap and he couldn’t stop wondering how he would have explained it if a paparazzi had taken a picture of him with the strange gift
Matt Goss has revealed a crazed fan gave him a frozen turkey. The present was so odd it left the Bros singer in a right flap.
He said: “The weirdest things I get given are food. A fan once gave me a frozen turkey. It was placed on my lap when I was in a limo. She was adamant that I took it. At the time I didn’t realise it was a frozen turkey.
“Afterwards I always imagined what it would have looked like if a paparazzi had taken a picture of me with a raw turkey on my lap. How do you explain that one?”
It’s not the only time Matt has been given an unexpected gift by a fan. Since finding fame in the 80s, he had everything you could think of.
He said: “I’ve had so many strange things. When you go to places like Japan, you get some crazy stuff.
“I was given a Rolex and Yohji Yamamoto designer clothes. They were incredible things. I’ve had things from opposite ends of the spectrum!”
Matt was part of the iconic 80s pop rock band Bros with his twin brother, Luke, and childhood friend, Craig Logan but it has recently been revealed the brothers are estranged and no longer speaking.
The pair are best known for their hit track “When Will I Be Famous”, which dominated the charts at the time.
Matt himself has gone on to do a host of other projects, including taking to the Strictly dancefloor.
But in an emotional interview with The Guardian last year, Matt revealed that he and his former bandmate Luke are no longer speaking to each other. While opting to keep specific details private, singer Matt admitted that he had tried his best to reconnect with his brother.
“I don’t want to go into detail, but I also don’t want to lie any more – we are completely estranged,” he explained. “When you do your best, that is enough. And I’ve done my best. I really have.”
Strictly star Matt added that he would love to reunite with his brother to share in the happy moments of his life, such as going to the pub or meeting each other’s children. “I want to live with him, but I’m not going to make myself unwell. I’m not,” he insisted.
The star kept the reasons behind the rift between the brothers to himself “out of respect” for Luke. However, he was keen to stress that relations between the pair were not as good as they once were.
“I love Luke, I do, but I can’t comment on that on the record,” Matt explained. “I don’t want to put myself in harm’s way.”
