AJ did a interview with Sun Herald in Biloxi and talked a bit about the next album.
What’s next for the Backstreet Boys? Another album?
We are going back into the studio in September to work on the next record and we have some pretty big surprises for that — which we can’t talk about just yet, but I’m sure after say, the (June 8 ) Boston show, people will have an idea about that.

This doesn’t mean much, but here it is:
In 1993, I filed one of the first newspaper stories ever on a group that no one had ever heard of.
The Backstreet Boys were rehearsing at a steamy blimp hangar in an industrial section of Kissimmee. They were doing a cappella serenades for anyone who would listen, including me, at Italian restaurants and business offices. They were playing middle schools.
More than 16 years later, I am talking on the phone to Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. He’s now age 30, which seems pretty old to be in a boy band.

Over at the BSB official website an official statement was made about BSB no longer being on Jive Records. Here’s what the post said.
Freedom: Backstreet Boys
So the news is out! The Backstreet Boys are no longer signed to long time record label Jive Records. The amicable split is very exciting for the group. “This is the best thing, at the best time that could have ever happened for us”, says Brian Littrell. “We are confident in the future of our band, and are looking forward to the new things to come. 2011 is going to be a great year for us!”

Is this where we make the “Backstreet’s back” quip?
Let’s not. It’s way overused, not to mention possibly inaccurate. Nick Carter says the Backstreet Boys never went away — even if you didn’t notice. For 17 years the group has toiled to stay alive. They’ve sold more than 100 million albums. They’ve been golden boys and guilty pleasures. They lost a member and continued as a foursome. Their latest album, This Is Us, came out in 2009. The Backstreet Boys are back (fine) on a world tour, stopping at Ruth Eckerd Hall on Memorial Day.
Carter, the teen idol who grew up in Apollo Beach and Ruskin, is now 30. He has navigated addiction, screamy reality TV and industry scandal, but says he’s in a good place. He called from home in Nashville to talk about the tour and his favorite Tampa memories (RIP, stadium Bennigan’s). And if Justin Bieber loyalists don’t appreciate his music, he’s content to count their moms as fans.

The Backstreet Boys are Back Again, This Time at the Apollo

The Backstreet Boys will be performing along with Art Alexakis of Everclear and Peter Buffett during DoSomething.org’s annual awards at the Apollo Theater on Monday night.

Andrew Fromm sent out a tweet early this morning giving a bit of info on the song he and Nick did.
We did an uptempo smash. Woke up earlier than I wanted but feeling slightly refreshed from the lack of sleep the night before.
Mornin all
The Backstreet Boys will be one of the headlining acts on the main stage at San Francisco Pride on June 27, the Bay Area Reporter has learned.
Main stage producer Audrey Joseph, who was brought on board by the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee only in April to line up talent for this year’s 40th anniversary of the LGBT Pride Parade and festival, confirmed the news Tuesday, May 18.
The Backstreet Boys were already scheduled to be in San Francisco for a pair of concerts at the Warfield, according to Joseph and the band’s website.
