Backstreet Boys recently presented their first new music since 2013, single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” and this might be just the beginning for the legendary boy band. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly on Friday, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean confirmed that Backstreet Boys will release their 10th studio album in the fall but teased that there might be one more album coming in 2018.
“The fans might get two albums this year,” said Littrell. “To commemorate the anniversary, we got a lot going on. You’re going to get a brand new 10th album with all new material and then you might get a few surprises on another album, who knows? Never count the Backstreet Boys out.”
Besides working on new albums, Backstreet Boys will be busy with their Las Vegas residency at Zappos Theater which resumes in July.
“Nine shows were the original deal and then we added nine more and nine more and then an additional 52,” said McLean. “We love it out there. It’s become a second home.”
“For us, [Vegas is] a perfect fit,” added Littrell. “I hope we can extend again and keep going because it’s a cool thing to be so close to your fans and we’re doing three shows a week. To be honest, it’s cake. It’s like eating wedding cake every day.”
After they wrap up the residency and release the new album, Backstreet Boys will get back on the road again. Littrell and McLean confirmed that the band will embark on a tour in March 2019 in support of the album and to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
