“Backstreet Boys” have delivered the finest pop music for 29 years, making them one of pop’s most influential performers.

With countless record-setting tours, numerous awards and worldwide sales in excess of 130 million, the band has been recognised as the best-selling boy band in history.

In early 2019, Backstreet Boys released a Grammy-nominated 10th studio album, “DNA”, on RCA Records.

The album debuted at number one and featured the Top 10 hit, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”.

In May 2019, the Backstreet Boys kicked off the “DNA World Tour” - the group’s biggest arena tour in 18 years thanks to the global success of their number one new album.

“DNA World Tour” has seen the group sell out arenas all over North America, Europe, Asia and South America.

Band member Nick Carter shared an image one day earlier where he snapped a picture of himself in his “I woke up like this” look.

He wrote: “Been traveling the world for the past 3 weeks and it’s been non stop but so much fun. Woke up in Cape Town South Africa refreshed and ready to see what’s going on around town. Stay tuned! #bedhead #traveling”
