"I told you how I feel. I'm gonna speak!" insists drummer Luke, bruised following a bitter row during rehearsals for their sell-out comeback show at the O2 Arena. ## Raw footage "You're gonna speak are you?" mocks Matt. His twin leaps out of his seat, lunges at his brother aggressively, then storms out. "Go f*** yourself," adds Matt as a parting shot. You don't have to like Bros much to consider After the Screaming Stops, an unflinching document of the duo's attempt to rebuild a relationship fractured after 30 years, one of greatest music films of all time. Are you guys ready to do this again? We are! https://t.co/crnp8k9YUz — Matt Goss (@mattgoss) October 5, 2018 In fact, it's soon clear that Bros don't even like Bros very much. Liam and Noel Gallagher have nothing on these two. ## Insecurities on display For 90 minutes, the 50 year-olds, whose signature hit asked When Will I Be Famous?, scratch away at each other's fragile egos and insecurities, apparently oblivious to the camera crew documenting each perceived slight and hissy fit. After the Screaming Stops, produced by James Corden's Fulwell 73 company, plays as a cross between This Is Spinal Tap and Some Kind of Monster, the similarly raw Metallica documentary which exposed tensions between the metal band's members, eventually resolved by taking a therapist on tour. ## Jealousies Bros's issues go deep. "He was perceived as the gifted one, the favourite," says Luke of the glory years, when Bros sold 10m records and became the youngest band to sell-out Wembley Stadium. Having barely picked up a drum-stick for 25 years after breaking into acting, Luke gets the hump when Matt, who reinvented himself as a highly-successful Las Vegas lounge singer, imposes his musical will at rehearsals. Bros reunite at the O2 Arena in 2017 after a bitter split (BFI) "You come in and tell me what to do all the time," he complains. "I want to speak occasionally. You're humiliating me but you have the luxury of walking back (to Vegas)." "He's angry and hurting people," observes Matt. "It's not a good look for my brother." ## Family ties As the clock ticks ominously towards that O2 show, the brothers find common ground when they return to their childhood home and reflect on the perils of fame – they were required to perform on BBC1's Terry Wogan show the day after learning that their sister Carolyn had been killed in a car crash. When the screaming stopped in the early 90s, both were left financially ruined. In an era of pop stars controlled by image managers, the Goss bros should be commended for allowing the world to see them at their most vulnerable. Ultimately, the O2 show is a triumph. Then the rest of the reunion tour is axed. But that's another story. : BFI London Film Festival – Thursday 18 October 15:30 Odeon Tottenham Court Road Bros: After The Screaming Stops in cinemas November 9, DVD, Blu-ray and Digital on 12th November. ## More 1980s Morrison's tell Muslim 'letterbox' abuse is 'subjectively' offensive Departure of Sheikh's 6th wife shone light on Dubai's state oppression 'I was housed in a shipping container for two years' Instead of going to proms, teenagers should watch 'The World At War' 'I was rejected from Settled Status despite living here for 15 years' Here are the line-ups for Reading and Leeds festivals 2019 Stars defend Olivia Colman after 'left-wing face' jibe in Telegraph 13 Reasons Why season 3: who are the suspects for the murder?

Bros
Reformation.
On 1 July 2008, singer Matt Goss told BBC News that he had spoken to the other members of the band and in principle they had agreed to reform, feeling that he and his bandmates "are finally at a place" where they could reunite. However, his brother Luke denied any plans of taking part in a reunion. On 14 September 2010, Matt Goss stated that the band would not be reforming in the near future, saying that the moment had passed. 
 On 5 October 2016, it was announced that a 30th anniversary Bros concert would take place at the O2 Arena on 19 August 2017, featuring Matt and Luke Goss. Craig Logan wished the Goss brothers success with the concerts, but confirmed he was not interested in taking part in the reunion. A UK tour was announced, with a second date at the O2 Arena and shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle upon Tyne, but all the dates except the two shows in London and the show in Manchester were later cancelled, with the band blaming "unforeseen logistical circumstances". The first concert at the O2 Arena took place 28 years to the day since the band's original farewell concert at Wembley Stadium. A documentary film of the brothers' reunion and the rehearsals and lead-up to the first concert at the O2 Arena, titled "Bros: After the Screaming Stops", was produced.
