Huge Eighties pop star left ‘very emotional’ as terrifying stalker is arrested ‘very very close’ to home
A HUGE Eighties pop star has been left feeling “very emotional” after their stalker was arrested.
Matt Goss, who was in the group Bros, has revealed the person tracked him down to his home and the police were called.
He suggested the stalker, who he did not identify, had been targeting him for a while and said it is why he has been avoiding social media.
Speaking about the ordeal for the first time, he said: “I have a case with a few issues going on. Somebody was just arrested.
“So the reason I’ve been quite quiet on socials is because I’ve had a pretty major stalker and they got very, very close to where I lived.”
Matt, who had hits including When Will I Be Famous and I Owe You Nothing, admitted the situation had taken its toll on him.
Speaking on the BBC podcast Rylan: How To Be In The Spotlight, he said: “It’s been very emotional, if I’m honest. But they basically came over and it turned. It turned a bit weird.
“That’s been resolved. I can’t speak about any of the details but somebody was arrested.”
The incident comes two years after his stint on the BBC One show Strictly Come Dancing.
He decided to compete after moving back to the UK following an 11-year residency performing in Las Vegas.
Speaking in 2022 about his return, he said: “I’ve been talking about wanting to come back for a long time.
“There’s a familiarity here that just resonates with me, and the way I’m received in this country, it’s like I’m part of the family, and that’s a really wonderful and much-needed experience.
“Eleven years is a very long run to have a residency and do four shows a week. Emotionally, physically, that was starting to feel a bit different. I was really proud, and I also knew that I wanted to live more.
“I wanted to go play frisbee in the park, play football, walk my dog. I want to be able to have a local pub and friends I can connect with like that, just a different kind of lifestyle.”
