Another one bites the dust

It's already 2006 and i guess not many people really bother about the backstreet boys anymore, but you gotta give respect to the original pop boyband which kicked off a slew of other trashy boybands .

"Earlier this year, after much soul searching, Kevin Richardson came to us and told us that he had decided to leave the group and pursue other interests. He gave his blessing to continue the music without him.

We have no intention of replacing Kevin, and the door will always be open for him to return to the Backstreet Boys. We wish him the all the best in his future endeavors.

This weekend we are returning to the studio to begin the follow-up to Never Gone, and will see you later this year with a new album.”

Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean"

Let us all take a second of silence .
Okay .

Next !
