Backstreet Boys announce NZ tour date

With worldwide record sales in excess of 100 million and 14 Top 40 hits on
the Billboard Hot 100, the Backstreet Boys are among the most successful pop
groups in music history.

According to US Billboard 200 the group is the first artist since Sade to
have their first seven albums reach top 10 on the chart.

In 2009 their latest album titled This Is Us was released and they are
currently on the European leg of a successful World tour of the same name.

Today the quartet - Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean
- have announced they will be extending the tour to include Australia and
New Zealand.

"We are so excited to bring the This Is Us tour to New Zealand and we can't
wait to see you in March 2010 dancing in the audience" said the band.

The tour showcases the latest album and of course all their greatest hits,
including I Want It That Way, Everybody (Backstreet's Back), I'll Never
Break Your Heart, As Long As You Love Me, The Shape of My Heart and
Incomplete.

The Backstreet Boys are back - alright!
