He gave his blessing to continue the music without him.

Of course, the abandoned foursome was courteous back in 2006 when Richardson’s departure was announced:Įarlier this year, after much soul searching, Kevin Richardson came to us and told us that he had decided to leave the group and pursue other interests. This album marks the comeback of Litrell’s cousin (yes, cousin!), Kevin Richardson – the only BSB member to ditch BSB. Littrell has also has a moderately successful Christian music career, takes a lot of selfies and survived swine flu. His wife, a model he met at the As Long as You Love Me music video shoot, runs a clothing business that sells $72 sequined shorts.

His son Baylee, 10, is performing on the BBS tour. Hangin with Howie D and the family Photograph: / Photograph: Brian Littrellĭuring BSB’s more restful later years – absent the occasional cruise and tour with New Kids on the Block – Brian Littrell has been busy at work on his family marketing machine. If that news is hard to bear, you should probably read this. He also made an It Gets Better Video, got married and had a bebe. What was he up to in between rehab stints? Why singing songs of course! AJ went solo with Johnny No Name (more like Johnny No Game – amirite!) which bombed. REGARDLESS, we are happy to hear that AJ is happy and healthy and on tour with the boys. In 2001, Kevin Richardson (the quiet one with the facial hair) confronted AJ about his drug and alcohol abuse and persuaded him to check into rehab. The fact that AJ Maclean is still in the band/alive is a testament to the Brotherhood of the Backstreet Boys. And he's also written three screenplays, including a horror film in which he'd play a villain. To be honest, we’re just glad that the whole Paris Hilton phase is over. Apparently networks want to film their wedding and we’ll probably watch it. Nick and Lauren Kitt are planning to marry sometime this year, in classic celebrity fashion – aka on television. But don’t get your hopes up, Carter die-hards: he’s engaged to a fitness trainer with abs that are probably shaped like his initials. Only Nick “Bowl Cut” Carter remains footloose and fancy free, for now. Ok so first things first: nearly all the Backstreet Boys are married. To show you how they got there, we present this celebrospective of the Backstreet Boys: Nick Carter

Things have changed, the boys are now men.
