Backstreet Boys are back with brand new DNA album - and fans feel like 'kids again'

Backstreet Boys are well and truly back with a brand new albm to mark 25 years in the business.

The boyband – formed of Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough – delighted fans on Friday as they dropped DNA, which they’ll tour later this year.

Carter, 38, tweeted: “We’ve come a long way over the past 25 years. DNA, our 10th album, is out NOW.

“I’m so proud of it and I hope you love it as much as I do. #BSBDNA @backstreetboys.”

McLean called the album “special” and said the five-piece were “beyond thrilled” to share the new music.

Fans were overjoyed to have the I Want It That Way artists back and flooded social media with rave reviews for the latest tracks.

One wrote: “Good day to tell you, that you @backstreetboys were written in my genetic code. It's in the blood, in the heart, in my DNA. I love forever. @nickcarter @kevinrichardson @aj_mclean @brian_littrell @howied #BSBDna.”

Another posted: “Thank you @backstreetboys for making my Friday morning a little less miserable.”

“25 years later and I am just as excited and fan girling as when I got the first @backstreetboys album, I could not be any more wild AF for #BSBDNA⁠ ⁠!!!! Backstreets back alright!!! @aj_mclean @nickcarter,” commented somebody else.

And American fans had even more excitement in the early hours of Friday as the band performed on Good Morning America to a crowd of adoring fans.

UK fans can grab tickets to see the Backstreet Boys on their DNA tour up and down the country in June. They start in Manchester on June 10 and end at London’s O2 Arena on June 18.
