Boy band's career comeback The world tour follows the success of their Grammy-nominated 10th studio album DNA, which features the chart-topping single Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson are currently performing in more than 150 shows across the Americas, Australia, Asia and Europe.
The boy band's career spans 30 years this year and includes '90s pop chart-toppers, such as:
Everybody from their Backstreet's Back album in 1997;
As Long as You Love Me, Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely from their Millennium album in 1999; and
I Want it That Way, Shape of My Heart from their Black and Blue album in 2000.
In an interview with E! News, Kevin Richardson revealed the secret to Backstreet Boys' longevity.
Our music that we made together, we put a lot of love into that music. We had quite a few radio hits that have become a time capsule for people. It reminds them of a less stressful time in their life, the good times and it reminds them of loves past.
