Is Nick Leaving BSB?!

SuperTeen Gives You The Truth Behind The Awful Rumor!

By now you've probably heard the rumor about Nick Carter taking off and going solo. Well, here's the real deal.

Nick Carter is not leaving the Backstreet Boys! He is however, going to record a solo album after their Millennium tour. But just because he's gonna do a solo CD, but that doesn't mean he's going solo!

See, Nick has been with BSB since the early '90s, so this 19-year-old has not only grown up, he's also grown as an artist. He's eager to see what other musical areas he can excel in--and you know he will! He's psyched to work with other artists, just like he's worked with his little bro' Aaron!

And Nick isn't alone. Howie is helping launch his siter Pollyanna's career by producing her new CD, while AJ and the other guys are also working with rising stars!

Just imagine how much the Boys will grow as artists as a result of all this solo work! When it comes time for the next BSB album--and there will be another!--it's gonna be even better because of all this "stretching" the Boys hare doing! And that's a good thing!
