Continuing on with “the more the merrier” mindset, the five original Backstreet Boys (AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson) shared with ET that they’d be open to a tour with fellow boy bands, *NSYNC and 98 Degrees. [Pause here for excited screams]
"Backstreet boys, *NSYNC, 98 degrees stadium tour?" Nick Carter playfully mentioned while Littrell chimed in with, "the boys of summer."
"The boys are back and yeah, who knows what the future holds," said McClean with Richardson adding, "We wanna be the Rolling Stones of Pop music… they're still out there getting it."
Littrell added, "We get to do this for a living. We get to do something that we love and are passionate about… Other than living for our families, we live for our legacy. This is something that will continue on hopefully for another 28 years."
While their conversations surround only the idea of a collaborative tour as of now, there is definitely hope, as they’ve showed fans that anything is possible with past tours.
In May 2011, four of the five original Backstreet Boys embarked on a co-headlining tour with New Kids On The Block, forming the NKOTBSB tour. The previous tour seems to be serving up some inspiration for another collaborative trek.
"There was a certain nostalgic success behind the NKOTBSB tour which was a blast, but that was just the four of us. Now we are back to the original five," said AJ McLean. "I know fans have been asking for something like this for the longest time.”
While excited for the idea, the group also recognizes the importance of keeping their priorities straight as they have a lot of promised projects coming up. Those include a holiday time Las Vegas residency, Christmas album and completion of their DNA World Tour.
“Who knows what the future holds,” said McLean. “Right now [our] number one priority for us is the Christmas album, the Christmas residency and then, thank you lord, getting back on the DNA world tour next year and getting back to our fans across the world because they've been waiting patiently."
