Congratulations on the new gig in Las Vegas – if you have not seen Matt Goss live lately you are missing out – have a great time Matt – you deserve this!
I wouldn’t take any notice of the comments people left on the guardian website. There will always be some negativity from people. The main thing is, its another great UK news article for Matt, and a very positive one.
Ray, you’re absolutely right with what you wrote about the comments. It’s just that I’m fed up with all the negative shite they still write or say about Matt. But like you wrote also: it’s another positive article in the news and that’s just awesome!
