The Backstreet Boys Turn 25! Band Celebrates Anniversary with Throwback Photo and Ask 'Who's Ready for Another 25?'
The Backstreet Boys aren’t exactly “boys” anymore — they just celebrated their 25th anniversary as a band!
On Friday, everyone’s favorite “Larger Than Life” hitmakers — Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, and Kevin Richardson — recognized a quarter century together by posting a sweet throwback[1] photo to their collective Twitter account.

The hall is a throwback to another era with its old prints and stained glass.

“On April 20th, 1993 we became the Backstreet Boys,” reads the caption of a photo showing the fresh-faced, and pre-fame, gang lounging. “If you would have told us that 25 years later we would still be making music together, we would have never believed you. Thank you #BASArmy ❤️ Who’s ready for another 25 years? #KTBSPA #BSB25”
- 1993年的4月20日,后街男孩成立了. 如果你当时告诉我们25年后我们还在一起做音乐,我们是不会相信的. 感谢BSB军团 ❤️ 你们准备好陪我们度过又一个25年了吗?

Twenty-five years on, the Backstreet Boys are still going strong. The band’s music has been given a country-fied remix[乡村风味的混音版音乐] following a series of collaborations with Florida Georgia Line (including the No. 1 hit “God, Your Mama and Me“) and they recently announced the extension of their popular Las Vegas residency[2] at The AXIS in Planet Hollywood. The band will play an additional 21 shows from July to November.
