Backstreet Boys-mania

If you were alive in the '90s, you probably know the phenomenon called the Backstreet Boys – a frenzy some compared to Beatlemania. With more than 130 million records sold worldwide, they remain the bestselling boy band of all time. And the boys – now men – are back with their biggest world tour in 18 years, and another hit album, "DNA." Tracy Smith talked with Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson, who have never turned their backs on each other.

“WE WILL NEVER TURN OUR BACK ON EACH OTHER” ..without that statement they are obviously the only boy band that remains intact.

They are still handsome, , still cool, humble and never changed.. That's why I still loved them.. 💜

[JemiVela]

They are NOT back.... they were NEVER gone!

[Lubbylove]

"We will never turn our backs on each other." THIS. This is why they are unlike any other group. They are a family. I will always support them! Also I've seen them 5 times in my life and the DNA tour is by far the best. SO SO worth it.

You could never ever replace a member of the true and original Backstreet Boys ❤️

What a great brotherhood. I wish them well and continued great success in their music, family and friendship. God bless them.

Brian Littrell should write a book. Everything he's been through - his fight with Lou, his fight with the boys over suing Lou, open heart surgery, his struggles with his voice to get back to where he was. I'd like to know about his "soul-searching". Write the book already Brian! (Saw them on the DNA tour in St.Louis. Brian, you sounded great!) Great interview - not long enough.

BSB are truly one of a kind band. Strong brotherhood, bandmates, friendships, business partners, and family man. They love their fans and usually always have a fan's song in every album. I had literally had grown up with their music when they released their albums, since I was in primary school and even after I've graduated from college. Truly talented, humble, and down to earth group of guys. They overcame majors flaws which would break up a band: backstabbing manager, losing a member, family deaths, health issues, drugs, fights, etc... and they still conquered it and fight on. BSB sold out Staples Center in LA in August and many other arenas/stadiums around the world. KTBSPA! 27 years and going! ✊💖

Took me 20 years but finally went to their concerts. Best nights of my life. I hope they get noticed for a Grammy next year. It's long over due

I’m surprise when I hear that Brian was his guardian when I first heard it in nick’s book ... I guess his parents trust Brian since they are so close that’s cool .

[margo]

They're humble, grateful. That could be the answer to their success. You've got to have talent too, of course!

[courtneyhoing]

Brian's voice has gotten so much better than it was a couple years ago 😍

[acsgrlie]

whoa I never knew that nick's parents signed over guardianship to brian. Crazy thing that he's only 5 years older! Why wouldn't they give guardianship to Kevin?

[venjix]

I'm so proud of them!!!!

As a longtime BSB fan, they survived the game, outlived the 90s and 00s and reinvented themselves better than ever before.

[SpiralBreeze]

I’m 34 and now my 12 year old son is huge fan!

[lafbrito]

I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and this made me emotional. I’m so proud of my boys 🥰♥️🥺

[marjorieciruelos]

Brian melt my heart being proud father to baylee

[californiascreaming]

Im so happy for their renewed success!
