This Is Sad: Backstreet Boys To Release New Album

They haven’t recorded anything since 2005, but the Backstreet Boys are planning to terrorize the airwaves once again: on Tuesday the group announced during Good Morning America that they will release a new album and tour. Joining GMA via satellite from their recording studio in London, the ’90s boy band revealed they’ve reunited to create new music together.

All five members,  A.J. McLean, Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell, are living together while working on the new album.

“It’s our first time in the studio together, all five of us, since 2005,” Howie explained. “We’re recording our brand new record right here in London.”

Nick chimed in with:

“We wake up. We have breakfast together. We’re not sick of each other at all. It’s awesome. It really is. The vibe is fantastic.”

The quintet is working with producer Martin Terefe — whose resume includes work with Mary J. Blige, Train and Jason Mraz — on the still-untitled album.
