Eighties boy band Bros have scrapped more than half the dates on their comeback tour, sparking speculation it was because of poor ticket sales.

Twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss, 47, - who enjoyed a major hit with the track When Will I Be Famous? - cancelled August shows in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham and Nottingham.

The band will still play two shows at London’s O2 Arena - one of which sold out in a record seven seconds - and another in Manchester on August 22.

Bros going on? The Eighties boy band cancel more than half the dates on their £10m comeback tour, sparking speculation it was because of poor ticket sales

In a statement, the band apologised and said the shows were cancelled due to 'logistical circumstances beyond their control'.

Fans aired their disappointment on social media and speculated there had been poor ticket sales at the cancelled concerts.

Elle Marwick wrote on Twitter: 'So , so disappointed Bros will not be returning to Glasgow . ‘Logistical Difficulties’? Hmmmm .You were my very first gig ever .Gutted.'

Stephen Spence posted that he was 'absolutely devastated' to miss the reunion tour, while Daz Gale claimed: 'logistically nobody bought tickets'.

Darryl Ashton wrote: 'Bros have cancelled all concerts outside £London and £Manchester. Due to unforeseen "logistical” circumstances. Poor ticket sales.'

Matthew Borland added: 'Logistical circumstances' also known as zero ticket sales.'

Before the four other dates were cancelled, there were still tickets available for the second London show and the one in Manchester.

Two decades on: Luke Goss, left, and Matt Goss, right, have had successful career since the split but will reunite for the tour nonetheless

In a statement, they told MailOnline: 'Due to logistical circumstances beyond their control, it is with sincere regret that BROS have been forced to cancel 4 dates on their forthcoming UK tour.

Matt and Luke Goss apologise to their fans for any disappointment.

Concerts set for Nottingham August 23rd, Birmingham August 25th, Newcastle August 26th and Glasgow August 27th will now not take place.

All ticket holders for the cancelled shows will receive an automatic refund.

BROS play two nights at London’s 02 Arena August 19th and 20th before playing the Manchester Arena August 22nd.'

They last played together in 1989 and split in 1992.

The boys were the quintessential 1980s boy band, whose image adorned the bedroom walls of millions of adoring teenage girls – before they imploded in a mess of debt and in-fighting.

But nearly 25 years on, it seems twins Matt and Luke Goss put their issues aside to reunite for the European tour .
