Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean's alter ego, Johnny No Name, will return to life on Saturday night.

Taking advantage of a lull before the Backstreet Boys begin their U.S. arena tour in January, McLean plans to resurrect the Johnny No Name persona for a one-off show at the Hard Rock CafÈ in Orlando, Florida, according to a Backstreet spokesperson.

McLean's brief club tour under the Johnny No Name moniker this spring included un-Backstreet-like covers of songs by Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine and George Thorogood, but the singer said recently that he hopes to expand the No Name repertoire.

"I'm definitely looking forward to doing it again. I've been working on some original material, since most of the show is based around cover tunes, and kind of making fun of other bands as well as making fun of us, which I guess I have the right to do," McLean said. "I don't know when, but you will definitely see Johnny No Name reborn again."

Johnny No Name, McLean has explained, is a law-breaking Englishman who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and is only allowed out of jail to perform concerts.

McLean said he hopes to play several shows as Johnny No Name over the next year, including possible European appearances.

McLean's $15-a-ticket show will benefit the Orlando Sentinel Santa Children's Fund.

The Backstreet Boys released their latest album, "Black & Blue," which includes the single "Shape of My Heart," in November. -- Brian Hiatt (MTV.com)
