Backstreet Boys announce 13 Canadian tour dates
The Backstreet Boys, the most successful of the boy bands created by jailed financier Lou Pearlman, are planning a North American tour with 13 Canadian stops.
The band, with four remaining members ó Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J McLean ó announced their tour plans on Tuesday.
Original member Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006 to begin a family.
The Canadian leg of the tour begins July 30 in St. John’s, N.L.
The tour will also go to:
Moncton.
Halifax.
Ottawa.
Montreal.
Toronto.
Sudbury, Ont.
Sault Ste Marie, Ont.
Regina.
Calgary.
Edmonton.
Vancouver.
Victoria.
The group was at the peak of its success 10 years ago with their album Backstreet’s Back and hit single Quit Playing Games With My Heart.
The Backstreet Boys had a hiatus from 2001 to 2005, while Carter began a solo career.
They are touring in support of their 2007 album, Unbreakable.
“We couldn’t wait to get back on stage with a big extravagant show using this material as the base,” Carter said in a statement.
“Half of what we do is vocals and harmonies on our albums, but our other role is as entertainers, which we take great pride in.”
Pearlman, the producer who launched the band, was last week sentenced to 25 years in jail on fraud charges.
