Backstreet Boys mark 20th anniversary with new album and summer tour

Kiyo: The platinum recording boy band has reunited to release an album titled “In a World Like This,” to mark the group’s 20th anniversary.

It’s the first time since Kevin Richardson’s departure from the group in 2006 that all five original members — also including Nick Carter, 33, A.J. McLean, 35, Brian Littrell, 38, and Howie Dorough, 39 — are together again.

To continue the celebration, they will embark on a world tour beginning stateside August 2 in Chicago.

“This whole process started almost a year ago in London,” McLean said. “Kevin had just come back to the group, so he was kind of reconnecting with everybody and it was an awesome creative process.”
