Foreword Foreword I’m sure most autobiographies are written to set the record straight, to tell the true story and put right the popular misconceptions. Mine is no exception. As you read this book I hope you will begin to know and understand me better and see beyond the two-dimensional image created in the Bros fame days. I realize that changing people’s perception of me will be a very high wall to climb, but if this book helps you to see me and my work, be it music or otherwise, through different eyes, then I shall be happy. This book is about the real me. In hope, Luke Goss

About the Publisher

I picked up this book to read with a mixture of emotions. It is Luke’s book, Luke’s story, but it is also to a large extent my story. Luke and I are brothers, twins, best friends and, until recently, we were also partners in Bros. Many of the things that happened to Luke happened also to me. I could not help wondering how he would tell our story, how he would deal with the triumphs and traumas of our career. I put the book down, having read it from cover to cover, with a feeling of overwhelming pride that he has written about his life – and my life – so sensitively and well. The book has revealed depths in Luke that even I, who have been so close to him all our lives, did not know he had. He has told the story of Bros brilliantly, and he has also told of his personal life with tenderness and compassion. It is, I believe, a great book.

Foreword

I’m sure most autobiographies are written to set the record straight, to tell the true story and put right the popular misconceptions. Mine is no exception. As you read this book I hope you will begin to know and understand me better and see beyond the two-dimensional image created in the Bros fame days.

I realize that changing people’s perception of me will be a very high wall to climb, but if this book helps you to see me and my work, be it music or otherwise, through different eyes, then I shall be happy.
