Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean are working on their first solo projects even as work on the group’s sixth studio album is underway.

The group, which is on tour in Europe, is simultaneously working on its follow-up to last year's Unbreakable. Howie says they plan to hit the studio soon after their tour of North America, which starts next week in Newfoundland and wraps up on September 6th in Seattle. "We're looking at getting back into the studio quite quickly," says Howie. "We want to hopefully have something ready to go or at least be heavily into it by the end of the year and have something out towards the beginning of next year."

As for the solo projects… Release dates for both Howie’s and A.J.'s albums are not yet finalised. "Obviously Backstreet's always gonna be No. 1 priority," Howie said. "It's a matter of timing. We're not competing with each other or taking time away that we could be working as a group."
