Backstreet Boys tour continues this fall with more North American dates |
 |
The Backstreet Boys (BSB) are bringing their 2008 Unbreakable Tour back to North America for a new round of late fall performances. The 14-city leg kicks off October 30 at Sovereign Center in Reading, PA, and wraps November 17 at Interior Savings Center in Kamloops, BC.
The boy band will hit four East Coast markets in the U.S., including the opening night performance, before completing the remaining dates in Canada. The other U.S. concerts are set for Halloween at the newly renovated Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ, November 1 at Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and November 2 at the Chevrolet Theatre in Wallingford, CT.
Canadian highlights include a November 4 gig at Pavillion de la Jeunesse in Quebec City, QC, and a November 8 show at John Labatte Centre in London, ON. Access to presales, exclusive soundcheck events and VIP packages is available through the official fan club Web site.
The Boys, now a quartet following the 2006 departure of co-founder Kevin Richardson, are continuing their support of the group's sixth studio record "Unbreakable." The 2007 release peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and topped the album charts in Japan, Turkey and Brazil.
The singers hit the road in February with a tour of Asia and the Pacific before continuing on to Mexico in March, and Europe in April and May. The first leg of the North American trek started with a July 29-30 run in St. John's, Newfoundland, and wrapped September 6 in Seattle, WA. The tour comprised 14 shows in Canada, as well as 14 U.S. dates focused primarily in the Midwest and along the East Coast. |

Howie D. for Sarah CD launch |
| |
Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys was in Manila recently to join Sarah Geronimo in promoting “I’ll Be There,” the first single from her latest album Just Me which was produced by Christian de Walden of Hollywood.
Howie recorded a duet with the local Pop Princess for the CD. The song, a new original, is titled “I’ll Be There.” It is a composition by Al Taweel and Pamela Philips-Oland, the same team that did one of the most successful duets in pop music history, “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” by Johnny Mathis and Denice Williams.
Sarah was very excited about Howie’s visit. “I feel so honored that he agreed to come here for the launch of my CD,” says Sarah. “Sikat na sikat kasi sya. He is one of the Backstreet Boys. I used to just listen to them or watch them but now ay ka-duet ko na sya.”
Sarah and Howie are scheduled to shoot the music video of “I’ll Be There.” He joined Sarah in Asap 08. This was followed by a performance at the Music Hall of Mall of Asia where they greeted fans and signed autographs. Howie also appeared in MYX with Sarah as the music channel’s celebrity VJs for October.
Howie D reached worldwide fame as a member of the BSB along with AJ Mclean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter. They have sold 75 million records worldwide and won multiple awards from Billboard, MTV VMA, American Music and People’s Choice Awards, while also consistently selling out concert venues all over the world.

Howie D. helps Sarah promote 'Just Me' |
| |
BACKSTREET Boys' Howie Dorough is in the country to help Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo in promoting her latest album "Just Me."
Howie arrived in the country last week to shoot a music video with Sarah for the song entitled "I'll Be There." They recorded the said song a few months ago in Los Angeles, California.
According to Sarah, she felt excited when she heard that Howie agreed to visit the country to help her promote her new album. She said she is a big fan of Howie and "it was a dream come true for her to work with the pop icon."
Sarah disclosed that it was her first time to meet Howie since they recorded their song "I'll Be There" separately.
Howie said he was in the middle of the Backstreet Boys concert tour at that time that's why he failed to record it with Sarah.
Howie meanwhile said it was an honor for him to work with Sarah who he described as a humble lovely lady. He is also looking forward to have more projects and to work with other talented local artists here in the country.
As the first stop for their album promotion, Sarah and Howie had an autograph signing last Sunday at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. They will also guest in several ABS-CBN shows.
Aside from promoting Sarah's album, Howie will also help the singer-actress in promoting her concert to be held on November 8.
Sarah will have her next big concert at the Araneta Coliseum dubbed "The Next One." It will be directed by Johnny Manahan alongside Louie Ocampo as the musical director. [Source] |

Backstreet's back |
| |
Backstreet Boys' resident falsetto, Howie Dorough, has more on his mind than 'want[ing] it that way' or 'playing games with [your] heart.'
Dorough is now teaming up with Rock Your Religion to make 'The Howie Pendant by Rock Your Religion.' The necklace features a silver pendant with Rock Your Religion's Chi Rho symbol — representing the Greek phrase En Touto Nika ('In this sign you will conquer') — and Dorough frequently wears it at concerts.
But not only is the necklace pretty, it can help those fighting Lupus, an autoimmune disease. After his sister died of Lupus in 1998, Dorough formed the Dorough Lupus Foundation, which seeks to aid and support families of people with Lupus. Sales of the necklace will benefit the foundation.
The necklace is $35 and available through June 2009 on www.rock yourreligion.com. [Source] |

Backstreet Boys returning to Saskatoon |
| |
In an announcement sure to make hundreds of inner 14-year-old girls squeal with delight, former pop superstars the Backstreet Boys are coming to Saskatoon.

Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean will revisit their synchronized dance moves, sugary sweet harmonies and infectious pop songs at Credit Union Centre.

Backstreet boys coming |
| |
Come on everybody, can't you see, can't you see, one of the biggest boy-bands in history is coming to P.G.
The Backstreet Boys have reformed and they bring their tight vocals and dazzling choreography to CN Centre on Nov. 16.
Backstreet Boys arrived just when pop radio and television was in between boy bands. New Kids On The Block had faded, Boys II Men were also fading and weren't really the same kind of group in the first place, and 'N Sync hadn't come along yet. The time was ripe for Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A. J. McLean and Kevin Richardson to break out, and no group of their ilk has ever done it more powerfully.
Backstreet Boys have sold more than 100 million albums and according to some industry charts are the best selling boy group of all time. They were launched in 1993 and did not cease dominating the airwaves until 2002, when they took a hiatus. Carter released a solo album in that time. The group's quiet was broken in 2005 when they came out with the album Never Gone which did not excite the critics but shot up to platinum at the cash registers.
At the same time Littrell released his solo all-Christian album which, like Carters, also did well on its own merits.
The group shrank to four when, in 2006, Richardson left the band on friendly terms to focus on his new family life. The band responded by sticking together as a quartet and releasing their most recent album Unbreakable which has yielded the singles Helpless When She Smiles and Inconsolable. They go along with past massive hits Shape Of My Heart, I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, Everybody (Backstreet's Back) and many more.
It is the Unbreakable tour that brings them to Prince George. Ticket sales go public on Saturday at 10 a.m. available at the CN Centre box office and Studio 2880.
Music fans are also reminded that tickets to see country music icon Kenny Rogers in Prince George on Nov. 19 go on sale Friday. [Source] |

Backstreet's back |

You want it that way? You got it that way.
Former teen-pop sensations the Backstreet Boys are back, and they're bringing their Unbreakable tour to Winnipeg this winter.
The Florida foursome (now comprised of Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean; former fifth member Kevin Richardson dropped out two years ago) play MTS Centre on Nov. 12, as part of a Canadian tour that'll likely be jam-packed with hits like Larger Than Life, I Want It That Way and Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).
Tickets go on sale this Saturday at 10 a.m., for $39.50, $55.50 and $75 through Ticketmaster (call 780-3333). [Source] |
