Come on everybody, can't you see, can't you see, one of the biggest boy-bands in history is coming to P.G.
The Backstreet Boys have reformed and they bring their tight vocals and dazzling choreography to CN Centre on Nov. 16.
Backstreet Boys arrived just when pop radio and television was in between boy bands. New Kids On The Block had faded, Boys II Men were also fading and weren't really the same kind of group in the first place, and 'N Sync hadn't come along yet. The time was ripe for Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A. J. McLean and Kevin Richardson to break out, and no group of their ilk has ever done it more powerfully.
Backstreet Boys have sold more than 100 million albums and according to some industry charts are the best selling boy group of all time. They were launched in 1993 and did not cease dominating the airwaves until 2002, when they took a hiatus. Carter released a solo album in that time. The group's quiet was broken in 2005 when they came out with the album Never Gone which did not excite the critics but shot up to platinum at the cash registers.
At the same time Littrell released his solo all-Christian album which, like Carters, also did well on its own merits.
The group shrank to four when, in 2006, Richardson left the band on friendly terms to focus on his new family life. The band responded by sticking together as a quartet and releasing their most recent album Unbreakable which has yielded the singles Helpless When She Smiles and Inconsolable. They go along with past massive hits Shape Of My Heart, I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, Everybody (Backstreet's Back) and many more.
It is the Unbreakable tour that brings them to Prince George. Ticket sales go public on Saturday at 10 a.m. available at the CN Centre box office and Studio 2880.
Music fans are also reminded that tickets to see country music icon Kenny Rogers in Prince George on Nov. 19 go on sale Friday.
