Backstreet Boys: Unbreakable Tour 2008

By Menreet Kaur

Backstreet's back alright! The Backstreet Boys have launched their 2008 Unbreakable Tour, capturing millions of teenage hearts, sold out concert halls and media attention world wide. This is the group's first world tour ever since they took a break from the music scene from their last Never Gone Wild Tour in 2005.

Since then, much has changed. Kevin Richardson decided to exit the group to pursue his own interests, leaving behind the awesome foursome: Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A.J. McLean.

When asked if this new group dynamic may alter the way they perform live onstage, A.J. said, "I don't think it's strange now but initially when we first got into the studio and the very first show we did as four was a little weird. But now being up on the big stage, with the new choreography and the new album, the four of us have all gotten used to it now and this is the new phase for the Backstreet Boys. It works."

This time round, the Backstreet Boys are not leaving any stones unturned. They aim to cover the entire globe by the end of this year. Now Russia, India, Dubai, Hong Kong and more can see the BSB magic come to life! With 15 years of experience in the bag, you can put your money on the boys being able to accomplish their mission.

"Our music has evolved with our fans. We were young pups when we started," adds Howie. "With each album we've had the opportunity to grow more mature, lyrically and vocally. We've also had the chance to educate ourselves about the business, about artistry and becoming real musicians. I hope that shows with each step we've taken."
