Bros ( ;) was a British band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, consisting of twin brothers Matt Goss and Luke Goss, and Craig Logan. The band's name comes from an abbreviation for the word 'brothers'. Formed in 1986, they were managed by former Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins. ==History== Bros's first single, "I Owe You Nothing", was initially released in 1987, and peaked at number 80 on the UK Singles Chart.〔UK Singles Chart (Chartstats.com ) (Retrieved 9 August 2008)〕 Their second single, "When Will I Be Famous?", became a breakthrough single for Bros, reaching the number 2 position on the UK Chart,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Official Charts Company Bros )〕 and the number 1 on Ireland's IRMA chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bros Irish Singles )〕 The song also reached the top ten in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Australia.
