In 1984, whilst attending high school (Collingwood College in Camberley, London) Luke started his own band and introduced his brother Matt to the world of music. Then, in 1986, Luke, Matt, and a school friend named Craig formed a pop band called Bros. They were destined to take the world by storm.

Before his music career really took off, Luke met a beautiful young singer, born in 1960, named Shirley Fredrick. Shirley’s sister Dee was already in the business and had changed her surname to Lewis, so Shirley did the same, and as Shirley Lewis she became a much sought after backing singer, working with the likes of George Michael and Luther Vandross. It was during this time that Luke met her in a studio, falling for her on first sight. Shirley had a young daughter, Carli, from a previous relationship. Luke and Shirley married in 1994 and have been together ever since.

In 1987 Bros signed a record deal with CBS and released their first single ‘I Owe You Nothing’. Though this first record did not do as well as hoped, they continued to work hard and the following year they released a new single, ‘When Will I Be Famous?’, which spent 16 weeks in the UK charts, storming up to the No2 spot. A string of hit singles followed, along with 3 hit albums, and the video of their ‘The Big Push’ tour sold over 250,000 copies, which was a record at the time.Though Luke and Matt’s speaking voices are practically identical too (giving them the opportunity to have lots of fun talking to each other’s girlfriends on the phone over the years!), their singing voices are actually very different, Luke’s being deeper than Matt’s.
In 1989 Bros received the Brit award for British Breakthrough Act, and won the Smash Hits Poll Award for Best Video. That same year, Luke played drums on the updated version of Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ single.

Bros played sell-out concerts around the globe, filling world famous venues such as Sydney Entertainment Centre, Tokyo’s Budokan, The Royal Albert Hall in London and New York’s Madison Square Gardens. They also filled Wembley Arena for 10 consecutive nights and sold out Wembley Stadium to a capacity audience of 68,000 people.

After five successful years with two world tours under their belts, management informed the boys that the money was gone. The contract that their parents had signed on the boys’ behalf had entitled the record company to take a cut from the top, leaving Luke and Matt with nothing. It was an unfair contract. Luke subsequently made the decision to leave Bros, breaking up the band. Matt went to Los Angeles, and Luke started afresh, but in debt. He sold everything he owned and started the band Luke Goss and the Band of Thieves, but after releasing four singles, he decided to pursue his acting ambitions.

In 1993 Luke wrote the book ‘I Owe You Nothing’, which spent several weeks on the top 10 best sellers list and went into 3 reprints, though currently it is out of print.
