So buckle up to find out what happened to the Backstreet Boys.
He was convicted on fraud charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
He died behind bars in 2016, at the age of 62.
In 2002, the group decided to take a hiatus, which would end up extending until 2004.
They let it slip apparently inadvertently that they were regrouping to record a comeback album.
Months after that mammoth world tour ended, Kevin Richardson made a bombshell announcement.
The remaining members issued their own statement.
The record was released in late 2007 and the band hit the road in 2008.
Backstreet was officially back!
This was the case for Brian Littrell, who released his debut solo album in 2006.
According to Littrell, he was hoping fans would join him on his solo journey.
1 on Christian radio.
The album allowed Litrell the opportunity to spread his wings creatively, away from the Backstreet Boys.
It was also a way to share his faith with fans and reconnect with his roots.
“I hope this record is a chance to give something back,” he toldCBN.
“I hope I can do something that opens doors and benefits lives.”
In 2011 they embarked on a mega-tour alongside fellow boy-banders New Kids on the Block.
“I love you guys,” AJ McLean said.
And Kevin Richardson acknowledged the gravity of the ceremony coinciding with the band’s 20th anniversary.
In thetrailer, Brian Littrell is heard explaining the dilemma at the heart of the band’s story.
“And what do you do when you’re a full-grown man in a boy band?”
The candid film is far from a hagiography putting the band members on a pedestal.
“So that’s definitely going to happen but we’re going to do a trial run first.”
That tryout proved successful enough that the band penned a deal for a full residency starting the following May.
That tour, however, was cut short in March 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
But after resuming the tour in 2022 and continuing into 2023, it grossed more than $227 million.
They hit No.
1 on the charts 20 years after their previous No.
“DNA,” however, flew in the face of that perspective.
“DNA” debuted in the No.
1 spot in the Billboard Top 200, marking their third-ever No.
“But that wasn’t our destiny.
And to keep looking forward.
So I mean, here we are, 26 years later.”
This led the pair to team up for their own recovery-inspired podcast, “Pretty Messed Up.”
As McLean told theToronto Star, he was initially dubious about joining a reality TV competition.
Carter’s lawyer, Michael Holtz, immediately fired back.
“Protecting one’s reputation and name by calling a liar a liar is not victim blaming or bullying.
It is simply telling the truth.”
Despite maintaining his innocence, Carter did not escape unscathed.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
For Nick Carter, that has involved solo musical endeavors, acting roles, and reality TV shows.
“We’re going to keep making music until the cows come home,” AJ McLean toldPeople.
Of course, the performers aren’t youngsters anymore.
“We don’t do splits anymore.”
