The Backstreet Boys just came to Toronto on Nov. 11/99, they performed an amazing sold out concert at the SkyDome. There was about 35,000 screaming fans!!! However, there were many fans that were not able to get tickets so the Backstreet Boys want to come back soon again!! They may come back March or April of 2000 and perform 2 concerts at the Air Canada Center... If they sell out both shows (which the will) it will be about 36,000 fans inside. We'll just have to wait and see.
A friend of ours was listening to Kiss 92.5 and Tarzan said the BSB will finish their tour on Dec. 6/99. They will then have time off for themselves and then they will go back to North America for tour, although they will be spending most of their time in the studio recording thier new CD. Hopefully it will be out by Fall of next year however, nothing is final.
The Backstreet Boys said in a press conference in Toronto (Nov.11) that they will not be doing a New Years show this year. They have decided to take some time off to spend time with their friends and family. They need some time off, they have been working too hard!
Their next single is "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely." It is alreday out on the radio, but the video is still to be released.

There are two versions for the song "I Want It That Way"!! Both songs have the same beat but differnet lyrics! If you want to read the lyrics to both versions then go to the Lyrics page, and we have the full lyrics for both songs (Version #1 and 2). If you'd like you listen to Version #2 and go to Sounds/Interviews/Other Stuff section on the page!! Enjoy!
Apparently the new single for "I Want It That Way" (Probably Version #2) will be part of "Live in Orlando" home video which is on sale April 27th.
Starting May 13th there will be 5 BSB commercials airing on TV, one each day before the album release (basically a countdown) to help build the excitment
Virgin Mega Stores is recommending that you reserve a copy of the new CD because they expect it to sell out before it even goes on sale!! So Good Luck getting a Copy!!!

Also Tarzan Dan (DJ on Kiss 92.5, a Toronto radio station) said something about how the Boys are going to do some sort of commercial count down until their new CD (Millenium) come's out (May 18/99)!! We don't know much about that, but as soon as we find out more info on it we will post it up ASAP!!! So keep posted!!

Nick has officially revealed that he has a girlfriend, in a BRAVO magazine interview around the end of November. He claims that he met her in Tampa, Florida, they have been seeing each other for a few weeks and he is very much in love. She has blond hair, and is also a singer (She's not from the group Innosense). She has also been said to resemble his sister BJ.
Nick is also not moving to Los Angles with his family, because it would be to hard being a BSB and living in LA. He has recently bought a house in Orlando, as the rest of the BOYS have.
In a magazine in Brazil The Boys have been voted Best New Band by the readers of Domingo magazine, beating
Hanson and the Spice Girls in their annual music poll.
Backstreet Boys have signed with a new management company called "The Firm" whcih, also manage groups like Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Ice Cube etc... The contract was signed on New Years Eve. The BSB interviewed many management teams but, finally decided on "The Firm" because they are aggressive and pocess the the kind of energy the boys were looking for.

Stagehand Sues Backstreet Boys
Stagehand Sues Backstreet Boys MANASSAS, Va. (AP) _ A stagehand filed a $3 million lawsuit against the pop group Backstreet Boys, contending he was injured by a 50-pound cannon that fell on his head. Michael Barrett, 22, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Prince William County Circuit Court seeking damages from the five-member group for injuries and emotional distress. Gary Exner, another stagehand, was also named as a defendant. Exner could not be reached for comment and band spokeswoman Sonya Muckle did not return a phone message or respond to a faxed list of questions. Barrett, of Alexandria, was working backstage at Nissan Pavilion after a concert July 16. A line suspending the cannon _ a stage prop that fires confetti_ was untied after the show, ``causing it to descend to the stage below at great speed,'' according to the lawsuit.
Backstreet Boys released its first hit single, ``Quit Playing
Games (With My Heart),'' in 1997.

Here's a letter we got from a friend:
In early september, I went looking for the Backstreet Boys' email adresses, and I emailed someone that I thought was Howie. The e-mail address is howie-bsb@mailcity.com But I just got a reply last night and it is NOT Howie. But I think that everyone should know, that if they use that email, it's not him, but someone that's pretending to be him. He/She told me he/she was Justin Timberlake of N'Sync, and he/she told me that it's not Howie and the reason why he/she is using Howie's name is so he/she can tell BSB fan's mean things so they will hate Backstreet Boys and start to like N'Sync better.
I would really apreciate it if u would put this up on your website so people know. Thank you
Sarah Kaester
Now you are warned people please DO NOT e-mail the address above which is howie-bsb@mailcity.com becasue he is NOT HOWIE FROM THE BSB!!

All or most of the Boys' personal bodyguards have been re-assigned to work for *N SYNC instead! I belive that even Randy has been moved!! The guys are still very upset about loosing their friends and bodyguards.

The Backstreet Boys have postponed their Germany tour which was planned to start in December. Their Germany tour will now start April 26, 1999.
The BSB have split from their manager Johnny and Donna Wright and they will be their own managers from now on.
Brian has bought a little dog! It's a Chihuahua and his name is "Little Tike". Brian claims it was love at first sight. Little Tike tours with the guys now on the tour bus, they have all grown to love him. He looks alot like the dog from the new I'll never break your heart video, but it is not the same one. Little Tike is around the age of 13 weeks. Here's a pic of the two together:
The third Backstreet Boy's album is about two weeks into production. The band have a short list of material they are currently recording for the record but a definite tracklisting is yet to be decided. Both Diane Warren and The Bee Gee's are said to have contributed to the release, as well as the late Denniz Pop. The album is due April '99 (not official)!

Games manufacturer Jumbo recentely realesed a Backstreet
Boys game! It will most likely only be available in Germany at first!
This is what the games supposedly looks like:
A Backstreet Boys movie might be in the making in the near future!! Disney along with Universal Studios, are discussing a movie deal with the group. The plot to the film starring the young vocalists could possibly be based on a running comically illustrated journal that Nick has produced over the past few years. The manuscript, which began as a way to fight boredom while on the road between gigs could now serve as the script for a major motion picture!
Howie's sister Caroline, was the sister which died! :O(
Howie and AJ recently attended the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto on Sept. 24th, and won the BEST INTERNATIONAL GROUP award chosen by the fans!
Howie and a few friends spent the day at Canada's Wonderland, a popular amusement park in Toronto on Sept. 27!
He enjoyed the rides and attractions!
The rumour about AJ dating Amanada Latona from the Orlando-based all-girl group "Innosense" is true! I Read it in a magazine, and he said it was her!! He claims that a month before the tour they were together every minute! Here is a pic of her:
If you haven't herad the Italian Version of Quit Playin' Games yet Howie takes over Brian's part, Kevin takes over Nicks part, and AJ still has his part!!!
**The BSB appearance at the "Last Chance Summer Dance"
in Minneapolis was cancelled on Sunday, due to the death of Howie's sister! She died from lupus at age 25! ( :o( ) We're so sorry Howie!!**
BSB released a video for 10 000 Promises, for MTV Asia!! it's a love video where the BSB sing setted on stools!
If you missed the MTV Video Awards AJ has dyed his hair Blue/Green, he did it to match his costume for the show ( May I add he looked very good)!! he said he'll probably change it in two days!!
Brian and Aj confessed September 2nd on Regis and Kathielee that they have been seeing someone seriously! They've Got Girlfriends!
Some songs featured on the next album are said to be Open Arms, Heaven In Your Eyes (sung by Nick), as well as Where Can We Go, Tender Love, Who Do You Love, Show Me The Meaning and My Heart Stays With You!
The Rumours about AJ perchasing his own home are true in fact here's a pic of him standing in front of it!
**Congradulation Backstreet Boys!**
On Aug.22, 1998 (Howie's B-Day), the Mayor of Toronto, Mel Lastman, presented BSB with the "Key to the City". This is a huge honor that even the Spice Girls didn't get when they came a month ago. BSB were also presented with a "double diamond" award for their CD. This means that 2 million copies have been sold alone in Canada. This has never been done by any group or singer!! That's 20 times platinum in one country!!!
Thanks Catherine for that news!!
