Although the
Backstreet Boys will deliver their Black & Blue in time for holidays,
the group won't hit the road in support of it until January, when the quintet
will kick off a world tour.
Backstreet
Boy A.J. McLean said on Friday (Oct. 27) that the group will launch its
world tour January 23 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The date will mark the
start of an eight-week North American run.
The group will
then take a two-week break before hitting Asia and Australia. The Backstreet
Boys also plan to play Europe and South America before returning to the
States for another six-week run. McLean said the entire tour is likely
to run through November or December.
"It's finally
going to be a true world tour," McLean said. "We've been saying we were
going to do a world tour for the last two years, but we end up hitting
the U.S., Canada and Europe, and that's about it as far as we go. This
time we're taking this tour the whole way around the world."
Black &
Blue is scheduled to hit stores November 21. The group has already given
fans a taste of the album with the ballad "Shape of My Heart," and McLean
promises that more up-tempo material awaits on the new LP.
