| Description: | Nearly 5 years after their last studio album, the BACKSTREET BOYS mark a resolute return with a new album and a new tour. BACKSTREET’S BACK! They’ve dominated the charts throughout the world, have gone multi-platinum in countless countries and sold millions of records worldwide and now they are back to do it again. It has been over a decade since Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean decided to take a chance on their musical dreams and form what was to become one of the biggest musical groups in history.
Since the release of their first album Backstreet Boys in 1996, Backstreet has seen collective record sales of over 73 million units with their albums Millennium, Black & Blue and the Hits-Chapter 1, and they have sold over four million headlining concert tickets in North America alone. Past singles including “I Want It That Way,” “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” and “Shape of My Heart” dominated countless radio charts worldwide and helped to define the music of the late 1990’s. The group logged 12 top 40 hits, 8 of those reaching the top 10.
With a fifth album, Never Gone, release on June 14, Backstreet Boys have returned to the scene with the experience and the inspiration needed to once again take the music industry by storm. Their first single "Incomplete," released in April, proves Backstreet Boys’ enduring relevance; in its first week out, the ballad was most-added at radio. The Backstreet Boys are proving that growing with your audience-while staying true to a track record of timeless melodies, cultivates the rare gift of endurance.
Indeed, Backstreet’s back... performing Tuesday, September 13, at The Bell Centre! Their last visit at the Bell Centre was September 17, 2001. |
