Nick Carter just released his remix LP I’m Taking Off: Relaunched & Remixed and we have a first listen of So Far Away. We talked to the Backstreet Boys member about his new album, worldwide tour with New Kids on the Block and Matthew Morrison, and if Glee is in his future.
CB: Hey Nick! You have been all over the place, where are you calling us from?
Nick: Japan! Man it’s amazing over here.
Are the fans different over there? Have you had any crazy interactions yet?
They are similar in some senses. They are a little bit quieter during my shows – that’s just how they are. You can hear a pin drop because they’re really paying attention. You have to perfect yourself because you’re under pressure.

Nick Carter: I’d prefer my kids to do sports than join the Backstreet Boys
Ex-Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, back on tour with New Kids On The Block, tells Metro about the ills of fame, crazy fans trying to get on his tour bus and why he’s better off without the alcohol and drugs he once knew.
What’s the tour all about?
It’s a collaboration, without sounding too egotistical, between two of the biggest pop bands of the past 20 years. We’re uniting to put on a hell of a show. We come on stage together, do a couple of songs, then our own material. It’s the experience of a lifetime for fans.
Have you noticed your audience changing over the years?
They’ve got older and have families but they’re just as excited and passionate as before. That’s what it’s all about. They believe they’re part of something special.
