Everybody, this news is tearin’ up our hearts.
AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys and Joey Fatone from ‘N Sync announced on Jan. 9 — which also happens to be McLean’s birthday — that they are heading on tour together. The two boy banders are teaming up for “A Legendary Night” where they will each perform their respective group’s greatest hits for fans in the U.S. to enjoy.
The singers will be joined by a seven-piece live band for an unforgettable and nostalgic eight-city tour. "Joey Fatone & AJ McLean: A Legendary Night" will kick off in Temecula, California, on Mar. 15 and wrap Mar. 30 in Jacksonville, Florida.
“This is going to be fun!!!! @aj_mclean my dude ….here we go!!!!!” Fatone wrote on his Instagram announcing the news, with McLean adding on his profile, “Get ready for a ‘legendary’ show — can’t wait to see you all there!”
Once pinned against each other during their early and height of their careers, BSB and 'N Sync members have reunited and worked together over the last decades.
Backstreet Boys have continuously released albums and toured, even celebrating their 30th anniversary last year. However, ‘N Sync went on hiatus and released their last song together in 2002.
Last year, the five ‘N Sync members reunited and released their first song in over 20 years, “Better Place,” for the animated movie “Trolls World Tour.”
Fatone told TODAY.com in October that after ‘N Sync’s reunion in 2023, many fellow boy banders reached out to congratulate him and collab.
“They’re all supportive. I had a conversation with Nick Carter (from the Backstreet Boys), actually had a conversation with Nick Lachey (from 98 Degrees),” Fatone said. “Every guy from every group was literally like, ‘Dude!’ They’re so happy, they’re so proud. They’re like, ‘Get the heck out there and do it. We’ve been doing it, and I know that you guys have not. It’s only been a matter of time.’”
And that time has come for Fatone and McLean fans. Find out more about "A Legendary Night" tour and how to get tickets.
