Matt Goss is thinking about a political career.

The Bros singer is fascinated by “diplomacy and communication” and if his “passion” continues for the next decade, he’ll consider a new career to help instigate change.
He said: “I’m passionate about politics and I want to continue to fall in love with the process of diplomacy and communication, so yes, one day in 10 years’ time, if I am as passionate as I am now and I’m still on the pitch, then, politics would definitely be something I would consider.”
The 52-year-old singer is always happy to speak his mind, even if his thoughts are “inappropriate”.
He said: “I’ve learned not to edit myself too much, and that comes from a place of inner philosophy…
“I like to say what’s on my mind and a lot of it is inappropriate. I’ll give my audience a bit of a hard time. It’s not all nice and polite, and they never know quite what they’re going to get. If somebody’s wearing flip-flops at my show, for example, they’re going to get it, but I’ll never be rude.”
While he’s considering a political career, Matt has no plans to ever give up music.
He told Observer magazine: “I’m not going to stop performing any time soon. By the time I’m 80, I hope they’ve discovered a cure for old age. When I do croak, I’d like to either be making love with my wife or on stage.”
Meanwhile, the ‘I Owe You Nothing’ hitmaker is hopeful the coronavirus pandemic will make people less “terrified” of one another and understand the importance of respectful “human contact”.
He said: “We need intelligent conversations about interaction, about flirtation. Since #MeToo I worry we’ve become terrified of each other.
“But Covid may have reset the balance a little, and made people realise that we need human contact, but we need to be respectful of each other. People want to feel loved: men and women, everyone, of all ages, of all shapes and sizes.”
