Backstreet Boys Confirm They’re Reuniting For New Album, Las Vegas Shows

The Backstreet Boys are heading back to the recording studio and preparing for a nine show stint in Las Vegas, says band member Nick Carter. According to Teen Vogue, Carter has confirmed that “Backstreet is back” and it sounds like the new music and nine shows are a trial run for a possible Las Vegas residency.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Carter told reporters that the Backstreet Boys signed a deal with concert promoter Live Nation and that the nine show Las Vegas deal will be a “test run” to see if there is enough interest in the Backstreet Boys to garner something more permanent. Fellow Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson was also on hand to confirm the reunion stating, “We’re going to do a little test run probably the end of this year, the beginning of next year to see how it goes but we are definitely in the studio recording a new album.”
